Explanation

In vRealize Operations, Service Discovery runs on a 24-hour cycle, meaning newly deployed services are detected and added to the inventory once per day (Option B). This relatively infrequent interval is by design - service topology discovery is a resource-intensive operation that scans the environment comprehensively, so it runs daily rather than constantly. Options A (15 min), C (5 min), and D (1 hour) all describe intervals used by other vROps processes: metric collection typically runs every 5 minutes, and various adapter collections run at shorter intervals - but none of these apply to Service Discovery specifically.

Memory tip: Think "Service Discovery = Daily Discovery" - the word discovery implies a thorough, periodic scan (like an explorer mapping new territory once a day), not a frequent lightweight poll.
