Explanation
?= is not a valid comparison operator in Splunk - it has no defined meaning in Splunk's Search Processing Language (SPL) and will cause a syntax error if used. The other four options are all legitimate SPL comparison operators: <= (less than or equal to), = (equal to), != (not equal to), and > (greater than); Splunk also supports < and >= to complete the standard set. A quick memory tip: think of standard programming comparison operators you'd find in languages like Python or JavaScript - if you recognize the operator from those contexts, it's valid in Splunk; ?= appears nowhere in that common set, making it the clear outlier.
