Why each option

URL parameter-based content filtering in SharePoint requires specifying only the parameter names, not full URLs or domain names.

Aproducts/pages/products.aspx?productID=*&.productCategory=*

Including the full URL path with wildcard values conflates URL routing syntax with filter parameter definition syntax, which are distinct configuration concerns.

Bproducts.aspx;productID;productCategory; lucernepubltshing.com

Appending a domain name alongside the page path and parameters is not valid filtering syntax and incorrectly mixes network addressing with content filter configuration.

Cproducts; productID; productCategory; lucernepublishing.com

Including 'lucernepublishing.com' as part of the filter expression is incorrect because domain names are not part of the parameter-based filter syntax and would cause the filter configuration to fail.

Dproducts/pages/products.aspx?*

Using only the URL path with a trailing wildcard does not identify specific parameters to filter on and is too coarse to drive targeted category- or ID-based content filtering.

EproductID;productCategoryCorrect

Specifying only the query string parameter names as 'productID;productCategory' is the correct syntax because the filtering configuration requires identifying which URL parameters drive content filtering, not the full path or domain. This semicolon-delimited format maps directly to the query string keys passed on the product page URL, allowing the filter to correctly scope results by those two dimensions.
