  1. Answer is D = 6

    When the ACL logging feature is configured, the system monitors ACL flows and logs dropped packets and statistics for each flow that matches the deny conditions of the ACL entry.

    The log and log-input options apply to an individual ACE and cause packets that match the ACE to be logged. The sample below illustrates the initial message and periodic updates sent by an IOS device with a default configuration using the log ACE option.

    *May 1 22:12:13.243: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list ACL-IPv4-E0/0-IN permitted tcp 192.168.1.3(1024) -> 192.168.2.1(22), 1 packet

    Reference: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/security-center/access-control-list-logging.html

    From the example above we can see when an ACL drops a packet, it generates a level 6 Syslog (%SEC-6-)
