Which of the following are supported options when configuring optional network inputs?

The correct answer is B. Metadata override, sender filtering options, network input queues (memory/persistent queues). The correct supported options for optional network inputs in Splunk are: metadata override (allowing you to override source, sourcetype, and host), sender filtering options (filtering data based on the sending host), and network input queues using memory or persistent queues…

Explanation

The correct supported options for optional network inputs in Splunk are: metadata override (allowing you to override source, sourcetype, and host), sender filtering options (filtering data based on the sending host), and network input queues using memory or persistent queues. Option A is wrong because 'quantum queues' do not exist in Splunk - the real queue types are memory and persistent. Option C is wrong because network inputs use 'metadata override' (not filename override) and have input queues (not output queues). Option D is wrong because the filtering applies to senders (the machines sending data), not receivers.
