Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

An HTTP Event Collector (HEC) token is used to authenticate requests to the HTTP Event Collector endpoint in a Splunk instance. It is typically passed in the Authorization HTTP header field of the request. The token allows for secure and authenticated submission of event data to Splunk without requiring a login and password, making option B the correct use case.

I opt for B, since HTTP Event Collector tokens are not used in conjunction with login. They are used to authenticate requests to the HTTP Event Collector endpoint. B is correct because HTTP Event Collector tokens authenticate requests to the HTTP Event Collector endpoint. They are passed in the Authorization header field of the HTTP request.
