Explanation
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is designed to synchronize the clocks of computers and network devices over a network, typically to within a few milliseconds of UTC. Accurate, synchronized timestamps are critical for correlating log events across multiple devices during security investigations and audits. Without NTP, timestamps from different devices could differ, making it impossible to reconstruct the sequence of events. Time zone (B) is a configuration concept, not a protocol. SNMP (C) is used for network device monitoring and management, not time synchronization. CDP (D) is Cisco Discovery Protocol, used to discover neighboring Cisco devices.
