D.
The correct monitor stanza to collect data that is 45 days old and newer from a log file in Splunk is:
D. `ignoreOlderThan = 45d`
This configuration setting in the `inputs.conf` file tells Splunk to ignore any events in the monitored file that are older than 45 days from the current time. As a result, Splunk will only index events that are newer than 45 days, which is the desired behavior in this scenario.
ignoreOlderThan = <non-negative integer>[s|m|h|d]
* The monitor input compares the modification time on files it encounters
with the current time. If the time elapsed since the modification time
is greater than the value in this setting, Splunk software puts the file
on the ignore list.
* Valid units are "d" (days), "h" (hours), "m" (minutes), and "s"
(seconds).
Both A and D are wrong tbh, but I guess D is less wrong than A (followTail needs to be set to true or false), whereas D applies to files in a directory, not events in a file itself.
Ans: likely D, due to syntax error in A.
for A, followTail is a setting is boolean, thus its either 1 or 0; true of false.
for D, although as some pointed out ignoreOlderThan uses file mod-time to filter out events, thus read directory of files not stand-alone log file. However, the syntax is correct.
Answer is A.
D applies to multiple files. Question is about single file, so the limit must be applied based on extracted _time field, not last time a file was modified.

Using the Splunk Community portal URL reference https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/ignoreOlderThan-in-inputs-conf/m-p/358307
"When a monitoring is setup with ignoreOlderThan attribute, it'll exclude all the files which were last modified earlier than the set value."
