IPFIX data collection via standalone IPFIX probes is an alternative to flow collection from routers and switches. Which use case is suitable for using IPFIX probes?

Probes can extract Layer 7 information unavailable from normal router flow records.
Why other options are incorrect:
A, C, D: Can also be done using router-integrated flow exports; dedicated probes are primarily deployed for advanced security visibility.
