C - You can configure CloudTrail to deliver log files from multiple regions to a single S3 bucket for a single account. For example, you have a trail in the US West (Oregon) Region that is configured to deliver log files to a S3 bucket, and a CloudWatch Logs log group. When you change an existing single-region trail to log all regions, CloudTrail logs events from all regions that are in a single AWS partition in your account. CloudTrail delivers log files to the same S3 bucket and CloudWatch Logs log group. To log events across all regions in all AWS partitions in your account, create a multi-region trail in each partition.

Yes this explanation seems to be good with partitions and mutli-region trail. So I vote C as well.

Selected Answer: C

C It should be C and no brainer. Questions is asking about all the trails and future trails not asking about selective trails. B could have been the answer if the selective trails were the question. Since one trail across multiple regions is supported, we should create Multiple Region.

C for ease of current (and future) management. Cloudwatch doesn't really work that way.

Selected Answer: C

By default trail is a multi-region. You neeed to use cli to create a single-region trail: "In the console, you create a trail that logs events in all AWS Regions that you have enabled. This is a recommended best practice. To log events in a single region (not recommended), use the AWS CLI."
