Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A.
GitHub’s audit logs track administrative actions such as assigning or revoking Copilot Business licenses. This helps ensure that only authorized users have access and provides an audit trail for security reviews.
B.
GitHub does not differentiate between Copilot-generated and manually written code in commits. Audit logs cannot identify if a commit contains Copilot-generated code.
C.
Audit logs do not track individual Copilot suggestions. They only record administrative actions related to Copilot access and settings.
D.
Copying and pasting is not logged by GitHub, as it occurs within the user's local development environment, outside of GitHub’s auditing scope.
