Explanation
NOTE: The provided answer key marks C (SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default) as correct, but this is likely an error. When you run splunk set deploy-poll <deployServer:port>, Splunk creates or modifies deploymentclient.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local (Choice B). The system/default directory contains Splunk's built-in shipped defaults and is not written to by CLI commands or user configuration - it should never be manually modified. The system/local directory is the correct location for system-level user-defined or CLI-generated configurations.
