Answer: C

Explanation:

"When ingesting event data, the measured data volume is based on the new raw data that is placed into the indexing pipeline. Because the data is measured at the indexing pipeline, data that is filetered and dropped prior to indexing does not count against the license volume qota." https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.6/Admin/HowSplunklicensingworks
