Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy the Prisma Cloud Defender daemonset on the GitHub runner nodes to monitor runtime file system changes.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Defender daemonsets are for host/container runtime security, not static IaC analysis.

Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. VPC endpoints are for cloud network traffic, not GitHub API integrations.
- ✗

Why it's wrong here
