Contoso, Ltd. acquires WingTip Toys. You manage the SharePoint farms for both organizations. The following table lists relevant information about farm indexing operations: The content for Contoso and

A single Search Service application can index content from multiple SharePoint farms using remote content sources. Adding 10 index partitions to the existing application provides the capacity needed to index the WingTip Toys content alongside Contoso's content without deploying a second Search Service application. This directly satisfies the constraint to limit Search Service applications and index partitions.

Creating a new Search Service application adds a second SSA, which violates the explicit requirement to limit the number of Search Service applications in the environment.

Adding only one index partition would be insufficient to handle the combined item count from both farms based on the indexing capacity data provided in the scenario table.

Creating a new Search Service application dedicated to WingTip Toys content contradicts both constraints - it increases the SSA count and duplicates index infrastructure unnecessarily.
