Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Flexible NetFlow allows administrators to define custom flow records with specific match and collect fields.
Why this is correct
FNF lets you create custom records specifying key (match) and non-key (collect) fields.

Flexible NetFlow can only export data in NetFlow v5 format.
Why it's wrong here
FNF supports multiple export formats, including v9 and IPFIX.

Why this is correct
A flow monitor can be applied to many interfaces, and each interface can have separate monitors for ingress and egress.
- ✗
Flexible NetFlow requires the use of a dedicated hardware module for flow processing.
Why it's wrong here
FNF can run in software on most Cisco routers and switches; no dedicated hardware is mandatory.
