   A security analyst is using the CIM Endpoint data model to search for malicious processes. The search returns results for some endpoints but not others, even though all endpoints are sending the same type of data. The analyst suspects the issue is with field extractions. What is the most likely cause of the inconsistent results?

   • AThe endpoints are sending data to different indexes, and the data model can only search one index.
   • BThe 'process_name' field is not a standard CIM field, so it is ignored by the data model.
   • CThe field extractions are only applied to certain sourcetypes, so endpoints with different sourcetypes are not normalized.
   • DThe Endpoint data model is not accelerated, so it only returns partial results.
