Explanation

Log indexing on the SMS (Security Management Server) is enabled under the "Logs" tab of the SMS object, which is the logical and purpose-driven location for all logging-related configurations. Option A ("Other") is a catch-all section for miscellaneous settings unrelated to logging behavior. Option B ("Advanced") contains deeper technical parameters but not the primary logging feature toggles. Option D ("General Properties") covers basic identity and connectivity settings for the SMS object, not feature-specific configurations like indexing.

Memory tip: Think "Logs live under Logs" - Check Point keeps log indexing where you'd intuitively look first; if it's about logging, check the Logs tab before exploring other sections.
