The correct answer is B. It suspends logging and reporting functions. When a Cisco Secure Web Appliance's logging partition becomes critically full, it will suspend its logging and reporting functionalities to prevent further operational issues.

Why each option
When a Cisco Secure Web Appliance's logging partition becomes critically full, it will suspend its logging and reporting functionalities to prevent further operational issues.
SWAs typically stop logging when a partition is full rather than automatically overwriting older log files, which could lead to loss of critical data without explicit configuration.
A full logging partition on a Cisco Secure Web Appliance (SWA) prevents new log data from being written, leading the appliance to suspend logging and reporting. This behavior ensures data integrity for existing logs and prevents system instability, rather than risking data corruption by overwriting or deleting.
Deleting logs older than a configurable age is a proactive log management strategy, not the immediate, automatic response to an already critically full logging partition.
Archiving logs in a compressed file to free space is a manual or pre-configured task for log management and not an automatic, real-time action taken when the partition becomes full.
