Explanation

A Splunk macro is a reusable search string (or snippet) that can be referenced in any search. The time range is flexible - macros do not have a fixed time range, and the time range is determined by the search that invokes the macro (B is false). A macro does not need to contain a full search - it can contain just a portion (A is false, D is partially true but incorrectly worded as 'must'). Macros can also accept arguments, making them dynamic and reusable across many different searches without modification.
