Explanation

In Splunk, the correct syntax to search for events associated with a tag is tag=<value>. This searches all fields for any event that has been tagged with the specified value. Option A (tag:<field>=<value>) is the syntax for finding events where a specific field has a given tag, which is more targeted but not the general tag search syntax. Options B and C use tags (plural), which is not a valid Splunk search keyword - the correct keyword is tag (singular).
