Answer: See the explanation.

Explanation:

Box 1: Write an XMLA script to log the extended events of the trace.
Box 2: Launch SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance.
Box 3: Execute the script.

Note:
* Auditing an instance of SQL Server or a SQL Server database involves tracking and
logging events that occur on the system. The SQL Server Audit object collects a single
instance of server- or database-level actions and groups of actions to monitor. The audit is at
the SQL Server instance level. You can have multiple audits per SQL Server instance. The
Server Audit Specification object belongs to an audit. You can create one server audit
specification per audit, because both are created at the SQL Server instance scope.
* Trace events can be started and captured using SQL Server Profiler, , or can be started
from an XMLA command as SQL Server Extended Events and later analyzed.
* Extended Event tracing is enabled using a similar XMLA create object script.

    DISCOVER_TRACES: Provides information about traces that are currently active on the server.

    But you need to capture a continuous log of detailed event and subevent durations and custom trace events from queries executed in the SSAS instance,

    so the correct answer should be:

    Box 1: Launch SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance.
    Box 2: Write an XMLA script to log the extended events of the trace.
    Box 3: Execute the script.
