Question: What is the primary purpose of the mechanisms provided by the Common API Framework (CAPIF) for service APIs?
Option 1: To enhance User Equipment (UE) authentication processes
Option 2: To optimize Radio Access Network (RAN) resource allocation
Option 3: To monitor, manage, and maintain the lifecycle and performance of service APIs
Option 4: To facilitate direct communication between UE and the Core Network
