Explanation:

The Monitoring Console (MC) is the Splunk Enterprise monitoring tool that lets you view detailed topology and performance information about your Splunk Enterprise deployment1.The MC can be installed on any Splunk Enterprise instance that can access the data from all the instances in the deployment2.However, following the Splunk recommendations, the MC should be installed on the search head cluster deployer, which is a dedicated instance that manages the configuration bundle for the search head cluster members3.This way, the MC can monitor the search head cluster as well as the indexer cluster and the forwarders, without affecting the performance or availability of the other instances4. The other options are not recommended because they either introduce additional load on the existing instances (such as A and D) or do not have access to the data from the search head cluster (such as B).
