Answer: A

Explanation:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Admin/Inputsconf

[tcp://<remote server>:<port>]

*Configures the input to listen on a specific TCP network port.

*If a <remote server> makes a connection to this instance, the input uses this stanza to configure itself.

*If you do not specify <remote server>, this stanza matches all connections on the specified port. *Generates events with source set to "tcp:<port>", for example: tcp:514

*If you do not specify a sourcetype, generates events with sourcetype set to "tcp-raw"
