Actually, there wouldn't necessarily be only one log; in fact there'd likely be more than one. but I don't see how circular logging would result in more logs than one would typically find in an environment where circular logging were disabled. A seems to be the least likely of any of the possible answers. B can likely be discounted because Microsoft thinks everything can be solved through software, leaving one to choose between the almost equally bad answers of C & D.
