I might be mixing things up, but isn't "cat" used for displaying file content? I don't think it updates live.

Ah, I know this one! The tail -f command allows you to continuously monitor a log file and see new entries as they're added. That's the solution I'm going with.

I'm a bit confused by this one. I know there are commands for viewing log files, but I can't quite recall the specific one for seeing new content as it's written. I'll have to guess on this one.

Okay, based on the question, it seems like we need to create a session policy specifically. So I would start by looking for that option in the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps portal, rather than trying to create a Conditional Access policy in Azure AD.

I vaguely remember that some states have specific requirements for case management, but I don't know if it's the majority. Maybe option A is correct?
