Explanation

Amazon OpenSearch Service is purpose-built for near real-time log ingestion, querying, and visualization. It ships with OpenSearch Dashboards (formerly Kibana), which provides rich, interactive visualizations out of the box. CloudWatch Logs Insights (options A and C) can query logs but offers only basic charting - it is not a full visualization platform. QuickSight (option D) is a BI tool designed for structured datasets, not streaming log data, and sending raw logs directly to QuickSight is not a supported pattern. OpenSearch handles both the near real-time indexing and the visual analytics layer in a single service, satisfying both requirements simultaneously.
