Explanation

Ingress monitoring focuses on inbound network traffic - what is coming into the network from external sources (e.g., detecting incoming attacks, malicious payloads). Egress monitoring focuses on outbound traffic - what is leaving the network (e.g., detecting data exfiltration, command-and-control callbacks, or unauthorized data transfers). Together, they provide full visibility into network activity. The other options either confuse the definitions or introduce unrelated concepts like employee onboarding/offboarding.
