Explanation

In Splunk, event types are saved search categories assigned to groups of events. The correct syntax to search by event type is eventtype=<name>, making eventtype=web_errors the proper search. Option A is incorrect because tag= is used for tags, not event types. Option C incorrectly uses quotation marks around the name with a space, which changes the name and is not valid syntax. Option D incorrectly uses parentheses, which have no meaning in this context.
