Final answer:

To view changes made to resources in your Azure subscription, utilize the Azure Activity Log feature within Azure Monitor. It provides details on resource management operations, whereas Log Analytics, Azure Security Center, and Sentinel serve different primary purposes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The feature in Azure Monitor that you can use to view changes made to resources in your subscription is Azure Activity Log. This feature tracks all write operations (PUT, POST, DELETE) performed on your resources. To view these changes, you can navigate to the Activity Log section within the Azure portal. The Activity Log will display a list of all operations along with details such as the timestamp, the identity of the person or application that made the change, and the status of the operation.

While Azure Log Analytics can be used to collect and analyze monitoring data from different sources, including the Activity Log, it is not the primary tool for viewing these changes. Azure Security Center is focused on providing unified security management and advanced threat protection across hybrid cloud workloads. And Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform that provides intelligence for specific threats. Neither of these directly provides a feature for viewing resource changes like the Activity Log in Azure Monitor does.
