Which version of Splunk was noted as the most recent stable version as of December 2018?

1. 7.0.1

2. 6.5.2

3. 7.2.1

4. 8.0.0

The correct answer is: 7.2.1

The most recent stable version of Splunk as of December 2018 is recognized as 7.2.1. This version features updates and improvements over previous releases, introducing new capabilities and enhancements that address performance, security, and usability. The other versions mentioned, while they may have been stable at their respective times of release, were either older or not the latest version by the end of 2018. For instance, 7.0.1 is a prior version that does not include the later advancements found in 7.2.1, and 6.5.2 is even older, thereby lacking the newer features and enhancements introduced in the later releases. Version 8.0.0, while potentially stable, was not released until later in early 2020, making it not applicable to the status of December 2018.
