A large company has its application components distributed across multiple AWS accounts. The company needs to collect and visualize trace data across these accounts. What should be used to meet these

AWS X-Ray is specifically designed for distributed tracing of application requests across multiple services, regions, and AWS accounts. It provides a service map and trace analytics console that visualizes end-to-end request flows, making it the correct tool for collecting and visualizing trace data across a multi-account application.

Amazon CloudWatch is a metrics and log monitoring service; while it can aggregate logs across accounts, it does not provide distributed request tracing or service dependency maps.

VPC Flow Logs capture network-level IP traffic metadata and do not provide application-level distributed tracing.

Amazon OpenSearch Service is a search and analytics engine used for log analysis and full-text search, not for collecting or visualizing distributed application traces.
