   A user runs a search that includes a `timechart` command. The search returns results, but the user notices that some time buckets are missing. The user suspects that the `timechart` command is not receiving all events. Which stage of the search pipeline is most likely responsible for the missing time buckets?

   • AThe dispatch stage, because the search is not being parsed correctly.
   • BThe processing stage, because the `timechart` command is dropping events that do not have a timestamp.
   • CThe retrieval stage, because the base search may not be matching all events due to time range or index restrictions.
   • DThe post-processing stage, because the results are being formatted incorrectly.
