SCS-C02 Management and Security Governance Practice Question

Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The command is limiting results to one event.
The command uses --max-results 1, limiting output to one event. Option A is wrong because changes through the AWS Management Console are logged by CloudTrail. Option B is wrong because PutBucketPolicy is supported by CloudTrail and the event shown confirms it. Option C is wrong because filtering by ResourceName is not the issue; the --max-results parameter is the cause.
