Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct configuration to generate a syslog message when CPU utilization is higher than 60% is option A. This configuration uses the Event Manager Applet feature of Cisco IOS to monitor the CPU utilization via SNMP. When the CPU utilization exceeds 60%, the specified action is triggered, which in this case is to send a syslog message with a priority of notifications and the message “cpu high”. The event snmp oid command specifies the OID to be monitored, and the entry-op gt 60 part of the command sets the condition for triggering the action when the value is greater than 60. The poll-interval 5 specifies that the SNMP OID will be polled every 5 seconds.
