Full Answer

C.Admin Activity logs✓ Correct

Admin Activity logs

Cloud Audit Logs are divided into several categories. Admin Activity logs contain log entries for API calls and administrative actions that modify the configuration or metadata of resources (e.g., creating a VM, deleting a bucket, changing IAM policies). These are enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

Common mistakes

Confusing Admin Activity (modifying resources) with Data Access (reading/writing data inside the resource).
