Explanation
The primary purpose of monitoring batch processing is proactive - to prevent incidents that could result from batch failures, such as missed processing windows, data corruption, incomplete transactions, or downstream system failures. Monitoring enables early detection so operators can intervene before a failure cascades. Logging error events (C) is a component of monitoring but is a means, not the end goal. Summarizing reports (B) is an output, not the purpose. Security standards compliance (A) may be a secondary benefit but is not the primary driver for batch monitoring.
