Selected Answer: C
It is C, it doesn't matter if they are encrypted and digitally signed if it isn't synchronized. You don't even know what is where or what is missing if the logs are not synchronized. The question even states in different geographical areas. It is literally pushing you to ensure synchronization between them.
