Explanation

Tags in Splunk are labels you assign to specific field/value pairs to make raw data more human-readable and easier to search. For example, tagging src_ip=10.0.0.1 as 'web-server' lets you search with tag=web-server instead of the IP. The other options are false: tags ARE case-sensitive (A is wrong); tags are created at search time via Settings, not index time (C is wrong); and the correct search syntax is tag=<tagname> or tag::<fieldname>=<value>, not tag :: <fieldname> (D is wrong).
