Explanation

sFlow, NetStream, and SNMP are all protocols explicitly designed for network monitoring and management. sFlow samples packet data from network devices and exports it to a collector for traffic analysis and visibility. NetStream (Huawei's equivalent of Cisco NetFlow) captures and exports IP flow statistics, enabling traffic analysis and capacity planning. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the foundational standard for monitoring and managing network devices - it polls device metrics, receives traps on state changes, and can modify device configurations.

SSH is incorrect (D) because it is a secure remote-access protocol for encrypted command-line sessions and file transfers, not a monitoring or management data-collection protocol. While admins use SSH to reach devices they manage, SSH itself collects no telemetry.

Memory tip: Think "SMS" - SNMP, Monitoring flows (sFlow/NetStream), Sampling. All three push or expose data about the network; SSH just gives you a secure door into a device.
