why C? Why do we need to restart the server?

Perhaps because the password is in "raw" format, if the instance was restarted, the password will be a hash value...

this instance is a master, so master uri is not required, search factor is not set, so it will take the default value which is 2

According to this documentation: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.2/Indexer/Thesearchfactor And also this one: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.3/Admin/Serverconf splunk has a default search_factor = 2 So answer B seems to be also correct. C is correct, because the password is in clear text and it should be encrypted by restarting the instance.

Splunk Cluster Admin pdf => pg 30 Splunk defaults to replication_factor = 3 search_factor = 2 https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/Security/Aboutsecuringclusters When you edit the server.conf file to specify or change a pass4SymmKey, the Splunk platform encrypts the key in the server.conf file after you restart. Remember your key in plaintext, as it is very difficult to recover the key if you forget it. Correct Answer: B & C

If you don't specify a search factor or replication factor, the defaults are used. They are: Replication factor - 3 Search factor - 2 In this example, you will have a RF=2 and a SF=2
