Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Network Firewall
Options A and E are correct. VPC Flow Logs capture IP traffic metadata for analysis, and AWS Network Firewall can capture and inspect network traffic. Option B (CloudTrail) is incorrect because it records API calls, not network traffic. Option C (Trusted Advisor) is incorrect as it provides best practice checks. Option D (GuardDuty) is incorrect because it is a threat detection service that uses flow logs but does not capture them directly.
