B Correct answer
Explanation

PMON (Process Monitor) performs process monitoring and recovery, but it does NOT perform ALL system monitoring functions. That statement is an overstatement - other background processes like SMON (System Monitor), CKPT (Checkpoint), and archiving processes handle different aspects of system monitoring. PMON specifically monitors failed processes, cleans up their resources, and rolls back their transactions.
