Correct answer & explanation
✓
show monitor session 1
The 'show monitor session 1' command displays details of a specific SPAN session, including source and destination interfaces and operational state. The 'show monitor' command lists all configured SPAN sessions and their status. 'show spanning-tree' is unrelated, 'show interfaces' does not show SPAN status, and 'show vlan' is for VLAN information.
