Where are human-readable syslog files typically located?

Human-readable syslog files are typically located in the /var/log directory. This directory is a standard location in Unix-like operating systems, including those based on Linux, for storing log files that various system services and applications generate. Log files in /var/log can include a variety of system-related logs, such as system messages, service logs, and application logs. For instance, common logs found in this directory include messages from the system logger, authentication logs, and kernel logs.

The other options provided do not conform to common standards for log file storage in Unix-like operating systems. The /etc directory is primarily used for configuration files, and therefore, it's not a location where log files are stored. Similarly, /usr/logs and /home/logs are not standard directories for logs and might not even exist on a typical system. Using /var/log makes managing and accessing log files more structured and organized within the system's filesystems.
