Answer: D

Explanation:

The frequency in which a deployment client contacts the deployment server is controlled by the phoneHomeIntervalInSecs attribute in deploymentclient.conf. This attribute specifies how often the deployment client checks in with the deployment server to get updates on the apps and configurations that it should receive. The polling_interval attribute in outputs.conf controls how often the forwarder sends data to the indexer or another forwarder. The polling_interval attribute in deploymentclient.conf and the phoneHomeIntervalInSecs attribute in outputs.conf are not valid Splunk attributes. For more information, see Configure deployment clients and Configure forwarders with outputs.conf in the Splunk documentation.
