• C. Custom selections will replace the Interesting Fields that Splunk populated into the list at search time.
• D. The selected field and its corresponding values will appear underneath the events in the search results.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a field is added to the Selected Fields list, it is displayed along with its values in the search results, providing context to the events.
