I bet the answer is 'E) All of the above' because security is just a giant game of 'Guess the field'.

B) dest, of course! The attacker is moving to the destination host, so that's where the IP address would be.

I'm going with C) src_nt_host. It just makes sense that the Windows host the attacker is coming from would be in that field.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be A) host. That field could also contain the information we need.

Actually, according to Splunk CIM documentation, the IP address of the host from which the attacker is moving would be in the src_nt_host field.

The src_ip field seems like the obvious choice here. I mean, that's where the attacker's IP address would be, right?

I think it's src_nt_host. That field is specifically for the network host where the attack originated.
