Answer: A

Explanation:

Per the provided reference URL https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Admin/User-seedconf

"To set the default username and password, place user-seed.conf in

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local. You must restart Splunk to enable configurations. If the

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file is present, the settings in this file (user-seed.conf) are not used."
