Correct answer: VPC Flow Logs.
Why this is the answer
VPC Flow Logs record detailed information about IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. This data includes source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocol, and the action (ACCEPT or REJECT), making it invaluable for security analysis, troubleshooting network connectivity issues, and monitoring network usage. Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS, but it doesn't log network traffic. VPC endpoint services allow private connections between services in different VPCs or on-premises networks, not traffic logging. A NAT Gateway enables instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services while preventing external connections from initiating to those instances, but it doesn't provide traffic logging.
