A Splunk admin needs to remove a specific string from raw events at index time. The string contains special regex characters like '.' and '*'. The admin is considering using SEDCMD or a REGEX transform. Which approach is more appropriate?

Use SEDCMD because it is designed for raw data modification at index time.

Use a REGEX transform because it can handle special characters more easily.

Use SEDCMD with proper escaping of special characters.

Use EVAL to remove the string at search time.
