A is definitely wrong - Subsearches are notoriously SLOW See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Search/Aboutsubsearches Subsearches are mainly used for two purposes: Parameterize one search, using the output of another search. The example, described above, of searching for the most active host in the last hour is a an example of this use of a subsearch. Run a separate search and add the output to the first search using the append command.

I would also say that D is correct as well. A is definitely wrong, a sub search is not faster than a tstats search for an example.
