Explanation

Persistent attributes store their values in the database, which is a prerequisite for audit logging - you can only track changes to data that is actually saved. An attribute must be Persistent (B) because the audit mechanism records before-and-after values of stored data; if nothing is persisted, there is no record to audit.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Required): Whether a field is mandatory has no bearing on whether its changes can be tracked - optional fields can be audited too.
• C (User Defined): System-defined attributes can also be audit-enabled; the creator of the attribute does not determine audit eligibility.
• D (Non-persistent): This is the opposite of correct - non-persistent attributes exist only in memory and are never written to the database, making it impossible to maintain an audit trail.

Memory tip: Think "Persist to Audit." If data isn't saved to the database (persisted), there's nothing for the audit log to capture. Non-persistent = no storage = no audit.
