Explanation
There are three supported ways to add inputs on a Splunk forwarder: (A) the CLI using commands like 'splunk add monitor', (B) directly editing inputs.conf, and (D) Forwarder Management (Deployment Server), which pushes app configurations including inputs.conf to forwarders. Option C is incorrect because 'forwarder.conf' is not a real Splunk configuration file - there is no such file for defining inputs.
