Explanation

In cloud operations, monitoring is the practice of continuously collecting, aggregating, and analyzing predefined system metrics (such as CPU utilization, memory usage, request latency, and error rates) as well as custom application-specific metrics. This data provides visibility into the health and performance of infrastructure and applications. Option A describes cost management/FinOps, not monitoring. Option C describes audit logging and compliance tracking. Option D describes geolocation analytics. Monitoring is distinct from these-it is specifically about metric collection to understand system behavior and trigger alerts when thresholds are breached.
