Which statement correctly distinguishes active monitoring from passive monitoring in SD-WAN?

Active monitoring is only used for IPv6 links, while passive monitoring is used for IPv4 links

Active monitoring generates synthetic probe traffic to measure link performance, while passive monitoring observes real user traffic

Active monitoring uses real user traffic to measure performance, while passive monitoring sends synthetic probes

Active monitoring is configured on the hub, while passive monitoring is configured on the spoke

The FortiGate's own public IP address.

The private IP address of a server inside the cloud VPC.

A public DNS server like 8.8.8.8.
