What must be taken into consideration when preparing a log forwarding design for all of a customer's deployed Palo Alto Networks firewalls?

The correct answer is B. Traffic and threat logs will not be forwarded unless the relevant Log Forwarding profile is attached. For log forwarding in PAN-OS, traffic and threat logs require a Log Forwarding profile attached to Security rules (Option B) to send logs to external systems (e.g., syslog, Panorama). Without this, logs are stored locally but not forwarded, a critical design consideration.
