C. Asset identification (ID) and inventory management. Active discovery tools are primarily used to identify and inventory assets within an organization's network. These tools actively probe and scan the network to detect and collect information about devices, systems, and resources that are currently active and connected. Asset identification and inventory management are crucial for maintaining an accurate record of what exists on the network, tracking changes, and ensuring proper management and security of assets.
