Explanation

The timechart command requires the _time field because it aggregates statistical data over time buckets and plots values along a time-based X-axis. Without _time, Splunk has no basis for creating time intervals. _raw is the raw event text and is not required by timechart. 'rime' (option B) appears to be a typo and is not a valid Splunk field. index is a metadata field identifying which index the event belongs to but is not required by timechart.
