Kinesis Firehose is a fully managed AWS service that enables real-time data ingestion and delivery of data streams to various destinations such as Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Elasticsearch Service, among others.

Answer D, Splunk, is not a supported data destination by Kinesis Firehose. Splunk is a third-party log management and analysis tool, and although Firehose can be used to ingest log data, it cannot directly send data to Splunk.

However, Kinesis Firehose can deliver data to Splunk indirectly through Amazon S3 or Amazon Elasticsearch. Firehose can stream data to Amazon S3, and then Splunk can be configured to monitor and ingest the data stored in S3. Similarly, Firehose can stream data to Amazon Elasticsearch, and then Splunk can use the Elasticsearch API to search and analyze the data.

In summary, all the options (A, B, and C) are supported data destinations by Kinesis Firehose, but Splunk is not a direct destination, although it can be integrated indirectly via S3 or Elasticsearch.
