Why each option

Event management is the ITIL process responsible for monitoring IT infrastructure and services, detecting when thresholds are breached or performance drops below acceptable limits.

AService asset and configuration management

Service asset and configuration management tracks and controls IT assets and configuration items, not real-time service performance thresholds.

BEvent managementCorrect

Event management monitors all events occurring across the IT infrastructure and services, including detection of exceptions such as performance degrading below agreed thresholds. It uses monitoring tools to capture and filter events, generating alerts or escalating to incident management when service levels are at risk.

CService catalogue management

Service catalogue management maintains information about available services and their details, not live monitoring or performance detection.

DProblem management

Problem management focuses on identifying root causes of incidents and preventing recurrence, not on real-time performance monitoring.
