Answer: C

Explanation:

General symptoms of the job hitting system resource limits include:

✑ If the backlog event metric keeps increasing, it’s an indicator that the system resource is constrained (either because of output sink throttling, or high CPU).

Note: Backlogged Input Events: Number of input events that are backlogged. A non-zero value for this metric implies that your job isn’t able to keep up with the number of incoming events. If this value is slowly increasing or consistently non-zero, you should scale out your job: adjust Streaming Units.
