A is correct; "udevadm udevmonitor will print udev and kernel uevents to standard output. You can use it to analyze event timing by comparing the timestamps of the kernel uevent and the udev event. Usually udevmonitor is a symbolic link to udevadm. In some distributions, this symbolic link no longer exists. To access the monitor on these systems, use the command udevadm monitor" https://lpic2book.github.io/src/lpic2.201.3/?h=udevadm#udev
