For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Comprehensive profile information including recent alerts, associated devices, and identity attributes
Why this is correct
The User View is specifically designed to provide a holistic risk and context profile for a given identity.

Real-time packet captures of the user's active browsing session
Why it's wrong here
