Why each option

Event management covers monitoring and responding to significant changes in IT components and services; recording staff absence is an HR administrative task outside its scope.

AIntrusion detection

Intrusion detection involves monitoring for and responding to security-related events, which is a recognized activity within event management.

BRecording and monitoring environmental conditions in the data centre

Monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity in a data centre is a standard event management activity to protect infrastructure stability.

CRecording service desk staff absenceCorrect

Recording service desk staff absence is a human resources administrative activity with no connection to IT operational monitoring. ITIL event management is specifically concerned with detecting, filtering, and responding to meaningful changes of state in IT infrastructure, applications, and services. HR workforce administration falls entirely outside the defined scope of event management.

DMonitoring the status of configuration items

Monitoring the status of configuration items is a core function of event management, which tracks state changes across CI components.
