Continuous monitoring consists of?

• A. Uninterrupted checking over a specified time.
• B. Frequent, short checks at random intervals.
• C. A single snapshot taken at the start.
• D. Periodic sampling with gaps.

Answer: (B)

Continuous monitoring is about ongoing, frequent checks to catch changes as soon as they happen. The best description is frequent, short checks at random intervals because this pattern keeps surveillance active over time and reduces the chance of missing transient events that could occur between fixes in a schedule. A single snapshot only shows one moment, periodic sampling with gaps leaves unobserved periods, and uninterrupted checking, while continuous, isn’t the practical emphasis here since real monitoring aims for rapid, regular updates rather than a never-ending single stream.
