Explanation

The Prevention Policy Debug Report is specifically designed to verify that prevention policy settings were successfully applied to a particular host - confirming the host is actually running the configured policy configuration (C). Option A is wrong because policy precedence is a separate concern handled by policy ordering/priority views, not the debug report. Option B is wrong because detection counts are tracked in detection dashboards or event logs, not a policy debug report. Option D is wrong because host group membership and policy scope are managed in the policy assignment interface, not a debug report.

Memory tip: Think of "debug" as troubleshooting application of settings - when something isn't working as expected, you use the Debug Report to confirm the policy settings landed correctly on the host, not to count events or check assignments.
