Question 1
An online retail provider wants to detect service degradation before customers begin complaining. The organization wants automated alerts based on response time, transaction failure rates, and unusual traffic patterns.
Which practice would MOST directly support this need?
The requirement is for telemetry, threshold-based alerting, pattern recognition, and operational visibility. These are exactly the kinds of capabilities supported by monitoring and event management.
Service continuity management is about preparedness for major disruptions and recovery. Supplier management focuses on external vendors. Relationship management focuses on stakeholder relationships. Only monitoring and event management directly supports proactive detection of degradation through automated signals and operational insight.
Therefore A is the correct answer.
