A. B. C. D.C
The correct answer is C. /var/log.
Syslog is a standard protocol used for message logging, which means that system events, errors, and other messages are logged and stored in syslog files. Trace files are used to collect debugging information on Junos devices.
By default, syslog and trace files are stored in the /var/log directory in Junos devices. This directory is a standard location for log files in Unix-based operating systems like Junos. The /var directory contains variable data files, including log files, that are expected to grow over time. Other subdirectories under /var may also be used for specific types of log files.
Option A (/log) and option B (/home/log) are not valid directories in Junos or any Unix-based operating system. Option D (/etc/log) is also not a valid directory, as the /etc directory contains configuration files rather than log files.
In summary, the correct answer is C. /var/log, as it is the default location for syslog and trace files in Junos devices.
