Selected Answer: B
For the CloudWatch alarm to trigger on security group changes, the following must be correctly configured: Metric Filter: A CloudWatch Logs metric filter must exist to detect security group API calls (e.g., AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress, DeleteSecurityGroup) in CloudTrail logs. If the filter is missing or has an incorrect pattern, the metric will not be generated. Alarm Setup: The alarm must reference the metric created by the filter and have an associated action (e.g., SNS topic) to send notifications. If the alarm lacks an action or references an invalid metric, alerts will not be delivered.
