The correct answer emphasizes that the primary purpose of NTP is to synchronize the clocks of all network devices. This synchronization is critical to network operations for timestamping in log files, which is essential for security, troubleshooting, and compliance with various standards. Although setting the timezone also involves time, it does not provide synchronization across devices. Debugging and traffic analysis might benefit indirectly from time synchronization but are not the direct purpose of NTP.
