Explanation

Two statements are correct. B is true: Tags in Splunk are based on field/value pairs. You assign a tag to a specific field=value combination (e.g., tagging eventtype=web_access with 'web'). D is true: Tags are designed to make data more understandable and human-readable - they provide a normalized, meaningful label for events that might otherwise require knowing specific field values. Option A is false: Tags in Splunk are case-sensitive, so a tag 'Web' and 'web' are different. Option C is false: Categorizing events based on a search describes event types, not tags. Tags and event types are related but distinct knowledge objects.
