I practiced a similar question where we had to identify functions of different components in the architecture. I feel like displaying policies is definitely a function of the server.

I think the key here is to focus on the three-tiered architecture and the distinct roles of each component. The Security Management Server is more about policy management and monitoring, not direct log storage.
