Why each option

Creating a Database Audit Specification in each database does not efficiently meet the requirement to audit all SELECT statements across all databases and doesn't configure the output to the application log.

AYes
BNoCorrect

A Database Audit Specification is scoped to a single database and defines what events to audit within that specific database; it does not define the audit log destination, nor can a single specification configured this way efficiently cover all 17 databases for a unified audit requirement.
