Explanation

In Splunk, the Pivot tool works exclusively with data models. A data model defines a structured, hierarchical view of data through object definitions, and Pivot uses these objects as the basis for building visualizations without requiring SPL knowledge. Pivot datasets cannot be created directly from summary indexes, saved reports, or arbitrary searches - a data model must be built first to serve as the dataset. Role restrictions (option B) are not a defining characteristic; any user with appropriate permissions can use Pivot on an available data model.
