is configured as an Active Directory site.
System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager is deployed to the domain. The servers in all
three sites are monitored by using Operations Manager.

Two kinds of monitoring
Global Service Monitor is set to provide you a maximum number of tests for the two monitoring types. These are the Web Application Availability monitoring that monitors single URLs, and Visual Studio Web Tests monitoring that lets you to run multi-step, authenticated web tests from Microsoft-provided agents in the cloud. In the version of Global Service Monitor, Visual Studio Web Tests can be run from 15 external locations.

D is maybe possible but not the goal wanted here. We want to monitor a solution, not try to do some tests and get the results.

Solution must meet the following requirements:
Monitor multi-step requests to the web site.
This is why D is correct as previously stated and is a part of the goal wanted here; Visual Studio “lets you run multi-step”.

There is only one problem, what about “The web site requires users to sign-in”, and Visual Studio Web Test Monitoring doesn’t support authentication?
