Explanation
In Policy Optimizer's New App Viewer, the 'Compare' option for a rule shows the applications currently listed in the rule's configuration side-by-side with the applications actually observed in traffic that matched that rule over the reporting period. This helps administrators see which apps are allowed by policy versus which are actively being used, enabling informed decisions about tightening or updating the rule with more specific App-IDs. It does not compare rules against each other (Choice B), compare app dependencies (Choice A), or compare config states (Choice D).
