Explanation

The Automated Commit Recovery feature protects against firewall misconfigurations that break management connectivity. After a commit, if the firewall detects that it can no longer reach Panorama within a configurable timeout period, it automatically rolls back to the previous running configuration and re-establishes Panorama connectivity. This prevents an administrator from being permanently locked out of a remote firewall due to a bad configuration push. Note that answer choices A and B in this question are identical - this appears to be a question formatting error. Choice D incorrectly describes the feature as only generating a config log rather than performing an actual rollback.
