Explanation

Monitoring > Active Sessions in AAMS Element Manager is the correct and intended path for verifying that a live session is actively reaching the media server - it displays real-time session data directly within the AAMS management GUI, making it the most straightforward and purpose-built method.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because System Status > Element Status reflects the health/state of the element itself, not active media sessions passing through it.
• B is incorrect because list active sessions current is a command syntax from Avaya Communication Manager (CM), not a valid AAMS SSH command - mixing up CLI tools across Avaya products is a common trap.
• D is incorrect (and notably incomplete) because SMGR is an administration/management platform, not a real-time session monitoring tool; you wouldn't drill into active sessions on AAMS from SMGR's home page.

Memory tip: Associate Monitoring with Media - when you want to see live media sessions, go to the Monitoring menu in Element Manager. If you remember "Monitor the Media," you'll land on option C every time.
