Why each option

To fully restrict service users from accessing deal records, even if they appear in search results, an administrator should utilize field-level security and page layouts to make the record's content inaccessible.

AApp permissions and search terms

App permissions control access to applications, and search terms are user inputs, neither directly restricts record content access.

BRecord settings and search index

Record settings like OWDs influence access, but 'search index' is a system process that doesn't restrict user access.

CPage layouts and field-level securityCorrect

Field-level security (FLS) controls which fields a user can see or edit on a record, and if all relevant fields are hidden for the service team's profile or permission set, the record becomes informationally inaccessible. Page layouts further control the visual presentation of the record, ensuring no other elements expose sensitive data when the record is accessed.

DPermissions and tab visibility

While permissions (object-level) would directly prevent finding records via search, and tab visibility hides list views, the question implies records are still discoverable via search, so adjusting content visibility after discovery is key.
