Explanation

For a critical, integrated airline application handling both flight scheduling and payments, continuous monitoring is most valuable for its ability to detect and respond to attacks in real time. Policy compliance (A) and risk identification (D) are important but are broader governance concerns. Payment processing assurance (B) is a functional concern. Because the system is critical and integrated, the unique value of continuous - rather than periodic - monitoring is early threat detection and rapid response.
