A new forwarder has been installed with a manually created deploymentclient.conf.
What is the next step to enable the communication between the forwarder and the deployment server?

After creating or modifying deploymentclient.conf on the forwarder, you need to restart Splunk on the deployment client to enable the communication between the forwarder and the deployment server. Restarting the client will ensure that the new configuration is loaded and the forwarder starts communicating with the deployment server.
if "installed" means, that the splunk software was installed and the DS is configured already by deploymentclient.conf the next step would be to restart splunk on the forwarder.

Answer is C
C is correct.
Yeah, this should be C I think. Assuming you just modified the deploymentclient.conf on the forwarder, you would restart the service on the forwarder, not the DS, to load the config into the service.
