Explanation

NOTE: The provided answer key marks C (Deployment server) as correct, but this appears to be an error. In Splunk architecture, the Deployer (Choice A) is the specific component responsible for distributing apps and configuration updates to search head cluster (SHC) members. The Deployment Server (C) is used to push configurations to forwarders and standalone (non-clustered) Splunk instances - it does not serve search head cluster members. If this question appears on an exam with these answer choices, the technically correct answer based on Splunk documentation is A (Deployer).
