Explanation
Diagnostic sessions are designed to capture system state at the moment a problem is occurring, making option B the correct choice - when performance degradation is detected, a diagnostic snapshot preserves the exact conditions (memory usage, thread states, slow queries, etc.) needed to pinpoint the root cause. Option A is incorrect because pre-deployment captures baseline state for comparison, not diagnosis of an active problem. Option C (scheduled maintenance) is planned downtime, not a reactive diagnostic trigger. Option D is wrong because capturing a snapshot after resolution means the problem conditions are gone, making the data useless for diagnosis.
Memory tip: Think of a diagnostic session like a crime scene photo - you need it while the crime is happening, not before or after.
