I think A is correct. It makes sense for the pipeline to be in splunk-otel-collector.conf.

I feel like I’ve seen something similar before, and I think option A makes the most sense since it mentions the pipeline and endpoint URLs.

I’m a bit confused; I thought both files were for configuring the collector, but I can't recall the exact differences.

I remember practicing a question where we had to identify configuration files, and I think agent_config.yaml is related to endpoints and tokens.

I think the splunk-otel-collector.conf is more about defining the pipeline, but I'm not entirely sure what agent_config.yaml does.
