Explanation

Pensando PSM (Policy and Services Manager) enables administrators to monitor security events by creating firewall logs (option B), which capture traffic flow data, policy matches, and security rule violations across distributed network infrastructure - giving visibility into what is being allowed or denied.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (SNMP monitoring): SNMP is a general network management protocol used for device health and metrics, not PSM's mechanism for security event visibility.
• C (DHCP services): DHCP is an IP address assignment service - it has no role in security event monitoring.
• D (DNS forwarding): DNS forwarding routes name resolution requests; it is a network service, not a security monitoring function within PSM.

Memory tip: Think "Firewall Logs = Full Lookback" - firewalls are the security control plane, so their logs are naturally where security events live. If a question asks about security visibility, always gravitate toward the logging/firewall option.
