What was Splunk's 2017 revenue according to the IDC statement?

• A. $782 million
• B. $500 million
• C. $1 billion
• D. $650 million

Answer: (A)

IDC provides independent revenue figures used for market sizing, not Splunk’s own reported numbers. For 2017, IDC’s statement places Splunk’s revenue at about 782 million dollars. That makes it the best match among the options because it directly reflects the IDC figure. The other amounts—500 million, 650 million, and 1 billion—do not align with IDC’s published 2017 revenue, so they don’t fit the question’s source.
