D. Compare selected revisions

Check Point's own documentation states this feature lets you "review the applied changes to Access Control, Threat Prevention policies and common objects and compare revisions" — meaning its purpose is to let an administrator select and compare specific revisions of policies/objects to see what changed between them.

Why the others are wrong:

A. Manage security policies — Policy management (creating/editing rules) happens in the Security Policies view — Compare Revisions is a read-only comparison/review tool, not where policies are actively managed.
B. View and manage session changes — Session management (publishing, discarding changes within your own current session) is a separate function from comparing historical revisions of saved policy versions.
C. View connected administrator sessions — Viewing who else is logged in/connected is unrelated to comparing revision history — that's a session-status indicator, not a Compare Revisions function.
