Which of the following use cases would be made possible by multi-site clustering?

According to the Splunk documentation1, multi-site clustering is an indexer cluster that spans multiple physical sites, such as data centers. Each site has its own set of peer nodes and search heads. Each site also obeys site-specific replication and search factor rules. The use cases that are made possible by multi-site clustering are:

Greatly reduce WAN traffic by preferentially searching assigned site (search affinity). This means that if you configure each site so that it has both a search head and a full set of searchable data, the search head on each site will limit its searches to local peer nodes. This eliminates any need, under normal conditions, for search heads to access data on other sites, greatly reducing network traffic between sites2.

Seamlessly route searches to a redundant site in case of a site failure. This means that by storing copies of your data at multiple locations, you maintain access to the data if a disaster strikes at one location. Multisite clusters provide site failover capability. If a site goes down, indexing and searching can continue on the remaining sites, without interruption or loss of data2.

The other options are false because:

Use blockchain technology to audit search activity from geographically dispersed data centers. This is not a use case of multi-site clustering, as Splunk does not use blockchain technology to audit search activity. Splunk uses its own internal logs and metrics to monitor and audit search activity3.

Enable a forwarder to send data to multiple indexers. This is not a use case of multi-site clustering, as forwarders can send data to multiple indexers regardless of whether they are in a single-site or multi-site cluster. This is a basic feature of forwarders that allows load balancing and high availability of data ingestion4.
