Why each option

The Report Server HTTP log records per-request HTTP traffic including client IP addresses, making it the correct source for identifying which client computers are accessing the server.

AView the Report Server service trace log.

The Report Server service trace log records internal service operations, errors, and diagnostic events, but does not log client IP addresses from incoming HTTP connections.

BView the ExecutionLog view in the Report Server database.

The ExecutionLog view in the Report Server database captures report execution metadata such as report name, user name, and processing duration, but does not record client IP addresses.

CView the Report Server HTTP log.Correct

The Report Server HTTP log captures detailed HTTP-level information for each request processed by the SSRS service, including the originating client IP address, request method, URL, and HTTP status code. Because the ReportingServicesService.exe.config was modified to enable logging, the HTTP log will contain the client IP entries needed to identify the accessing computers.

DView the Windows System event log.

The Windows System event log records operating system and service lifecycle events at the OS level, not HTTP request details such as client IP addresses.
