System logs display entries for each system event on the firewall. Each entry includes the date and time, event severity, and event description. The following table summarizes the System log severity levels. For a partial list of System log messages and their corresponding severity levels, refer to System Log Events. SEVERITY DESCRIPTION Critical Hardware failures, including high availability (HA) failover and link failures. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/monitoring/view-and-manage-logs/log-types-and-severity-levels/system-logs#id8edbfdae-ed92-4d8e-ab76-6a38f96e8cb1

They have it correct at C. The system logs will not tell you "the reason for a session failover" which is what the question asks.

D is the answer I think, sessions may failover on different paths based on the traffic distribution profiles: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/sd-wan/1-0/sd-wan-admin/configure-sd-wan/sd-wan-traffic-distribution-profiles

I believe the answer here is D. Traffic logs. Refer to the documentation link below, you can see that the link switches, and all SD-WAN cluster logs are found in the firewalls traffic logs. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-admin/monitoring/use-syslog-for-monitoring/syslog-field-descriptions/traffic-log-fields#idbe18d2d4-9eb8-4966-bec8-df3a6de70e66

C cannot be correct. I do not see the correct answer in here, but not sure if the traffic logs can reveal this information. According to documentation, the failover reason can be found in (Panorama - SD-WAN - Monitoring). Here's the link - check out step 6 - https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/sd-wan/1-0/sd-wan-admin/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-app-performance
