D. Deployment server
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Updating/Updateconfigurations
First line says it all: "The deployment server distributes deployment apps to clients."
The answer is D as it is asking about deploying apps to other Splunk instances (assuming it is UFs/HFs)
If the question was asking what component sends data to the Search Head Cluster, then it would be a deployer. As admins (hence this exam) does not look at SHC, the answer would be D
A deployer is used to deploy apps to a search head cluster.
A cluster master is used to deploy apps and manage replication within an indexer cluster (single or multi-site)
A deployment server is used to deploy apps to forwarders (and technically could be used to deploy apps to other Splunk servers as well but with a number of caveats)
The deployer is a Splunk Enterprise instance that you use to distribute apps and certain other configuration updates to search head cluster members. The set of updates that the deployer distributes is called the configuration bundle.

Yes Answer D & B
If I have to choose one, I will choose D because the system admin and data admin talks mainly about the deployment server. diagrams with the deployer are shown but not discussed
