Explanation:

When Splunk's lookup feature finds fewer than the minimum matches specified for each lookup value, it returns the default value NULL for those unmatched entries until the minimum match threshold is reached (Option A). This behavior ensures that lookups return consistent and expected results, even when the available data does not meet the specified criteria for a minimum number of matches.
