Explanation

This is given in the AWS Documentation as an example rule in AWS Config Example rules with triggers Example rule with configuration change trigger 1. You add the AWS Config managed rule, S3_BUCKET_LOGGING_ENABLED, to your account to check whether your Amazon S3 buckets have logging enabled. 2. The trigger type for the rule is configuration changes. AWS Config runs the evaluations for the rule when an Amazon S3 bucket is created, changed, or deleted. 3. When a bucket is updated, the configuration change triggers the rule and AWS Config evaluates whether the bucket is compliant against the rule. Option A is invalid because AWS Inspector cannot be used to scan all buckets Option C and D are invalid because Cloudwatch cannot be used to check for logging enablement https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/evaluate-config-rules.html
