In the context of search terms in Splunk, when a user adds terms by clicking, the behavior of boolean operators is influenced by how searches are structured. Specifically, when a user adds search terms, the AND operator is generally implied by default. This means that if you simply enter multiple search terms, Splunk will treat it as if you are looking for results that contain all of those terms.

The option marked as correct—parentheses—does not imply any specific boolean operation. Parentheses are used in the context of search to group terms and control the order of operations. They do not have a standalone effect like AND, OR, or NOT do. When you add terms by clicking, parentheses aren’t automatically added or inferred in searches, thus making them distinct from the other boolean operators.

On the other hand, while AND, OR, and NOT can alter the behavior and results of a search, the use of parentheses requires explicit user input to define how the terms relate to each other. Therefore, the ability to use parentheses effectively is something that a user would need to include on their own, rather than it being implied by the search term addition process.
