Full Answer

C.Cloud Logging > Logs Explorer✓ Correct

In Google Cloud, all Cloud Audit Logs (Admin Activity, Data Access, System Event, etc.) are sent to Cloud Logging. To view, query, and analyze these logs, you use the Logs Explorer within the Cloud Logging interface. You can write queries to filter specifically for `logName="projects/[PROJECT_ID]/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Factivity"` to see Admin Activity logs. The 'IAM & Admin > Audit Logs' page is only for configuring Data Access log settings, not viewing them.

Common mistakes

Going to 'IAM & Admin > Audit Logs' expecting to see the logs, when that page is actually just for configuration.
