Why each option

To configure how a custom object appears in global search results, a System Administrator must navigate to the Object Manager for the specific object and then modify its Search Layouts.

AGlobal Search, Manufacturers, and Global Search Layouts

'Global Search' is not a direct Setup menu item for configuring object-specific search layouts, which are managed at the object level.

BObject Manager, Manufacturers, and Page Layouts

Page Layouts control the fields and related lists displayed when viewing or editing a record's detail page, not how the object's records appear in search results.

CGlobal Search, Manufacturers, and Search Layouts

While 'Search Layouts' is the correct place to configure the display, 'Global Search' is an incorrect initial navigation path from Setup.

DObject Manager, Manufacturers, and Search LayoutsCorrect

From Setup, an administrator must go to Object Manager, select the specific custom object, and then configure its Search Layouts to control which fields are displayed in global search results.
