Extracted fields
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Extracted fields: Calculated fields are often based on fields that have already been extracted from your data. Extracted fields are those that Splunk has identified and pulled out from the event data based on patterns, delimiters, or other methods such as regular expressions or automatic extractions. These fields can then be used in expressions to create calculated fields. For example, you might have an extracted field for the time in seconds, and you want to create a calculated field for the time in minutes. You would use the extracted field in a calculation to create the new field. It's important to note that although fields generated within a search string (A) and regular expressions (C) can also be used in the calculation of a new field, and lookup tables (B) can be used to enrich data, option D is typically what one refers to when discussing calculated fields, as it implies a direct transformation or calculation based on fields that have been extracted from the raw data.
