Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Show the CMDB Data Governance Policy execution history and generated remediation task metrics
Why this is correct
Execution logs and remediation task metrics provide verifiable proof of active policy enforcement and remediation tracking.
- ✗
Provide a screenshot of the Discovery Schedule configuration
Why it's wrong here
Discovery schedules prove that scanning occurs, not that governance data policies are enforced.
- ✗
Export the entire sys_audit table to CSV
Why it's wrong here
Exporting raw sys_audit is inefficient and does not specifically demonstrate governance policy enforcement results.
- ✗
Display the baseline CI Class Manager JSON payload definition
Why it's wrong here
Class payloads define attribute structures, not policy enforcement compliance history.
