Selected Answer: C
While retaining a log of job scheduling activity for subsequent review (Option D) is also a good practice, it may not provide immediate notification of failures or issues. Job failure alerts, on the other hand, enable proactive monitoring and rapid response to any deviations from expected behavior in the job scheduling process.

Selected Answer: C
Answer C Option D, retaining a log of job scheduling activity, is indeed a good detective control as it allows for post-incident analysis and review. However, it's not as proactive as option C, which involves automatically generating alerts for job failures.

Option A, metrics denoting the volume of monthly job failures that are reported and reviewed by senior management, is a form of monitoring control and may not be as effective at detecting job failures in real-time.
