Explanation
Starting at the Fabric Level (B) achieves true network visibility because the fabric is the foundational infrastructure through which all traffic - across every segment, device, and environment - must pass. It provides a single, centralized vantage point for complete north-south and east-west traffic inspection, rather than a partial view from one segment.
Branches (A) are edge/remote locations; starting there gives you visibility only into traffic at those outposts, leaving the core network blind. OT (C) covers only operational technology systems (SCADA, industrial controls), missing all IT and general network traffic. IT (D) is the inverse problem - it covers enterprise systems but leaves OT environments unmonitored, a critical gap in converged networks.
Memory tip: Think of the network fabric like the wiring in a building - every room (branch, IT, OT) connects through it. To see all the electricity flowing, you instrument the wiring itself, not just one room.
