   A consultant is designing a search for a large distributed environment with 10 indexers. The search is: index=main | stats count by sourcetype | sort -count. The consultant wants to minimize the amount of data transferred from indexers to the search head. Which statement about how this search is processed is TRUE?

   • AThe stats command is split into a map phase on the indexers and a reduce phase on the search head, so only partial results are transferred.
   • BThe sort command runs on the indexers, so the search head receives already-sorted results, minimizing data transfer.
   • CThe stats command runs entirely on the search head, so all raw events are transferred from indexers to the search head.
   • DThe search is processed entirely on the search head, which pulls data from the indexers on demand.
