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
✓
Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor is the correct service because it provides a centralized platform for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry data from Azure resources, including management operations across subscriptions. Specifically, the Azure Activity Log within Azure Monitor captures all control-plane events (e.g., resource creation, deletion, policy changes) at the subscription level, enabling auditing and alerting. This directly meets the requirement for centrally auditing management operations across multiple subscriptions.
