Why each option

The service desk performs logging, first-line investigation and diagnosis, and service restoration, but implementing all standard changes is a change management responsibility, not a service desk activity.

AAll of the above

Incorrect because activity 4 - implementing all standard changes - is not a service desk responsibility and belongs to the change management process.

B1, 2 and 3 onlyCorrect

Activities 1, 2, and 3 are all core service desk responsibilities defined in ITIL: logging details of incidents and service requests, providing first-line investigation and diagnosis, and restoring service where possible. Activity 4 is excluded because implementing all standard changes falls under the change management process, not the service desk function.

C2 and 4 only

This excludes logging (1) and service restoration (3), both of which are explicitly defined core service desk activities in ITIL.

D3 and 4 only

This excludes logging (1) and first-line investigation and diagnosis (2), which are primary service desk activities, and incorrectly includes implementing all standard changes.
