Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project settings
Why it's wrong here
Project settings define RBAC and source restrictions, not sync connectivity.
- ✓
ArgoCD App Details event log
Why this is correct
The events log captures controller-side errors related to sync status.
- ✗
ApplicationSet controller logs
