Explanation

For a custom field's value to be included in a Global Search, the "Store Value" preference must be enabled, and the "Global Search" checkbox on the custom field record must be checked. The "Global Search" option is only available for a specific subset of custom field types. According to official NetSuite documentation, both Email Address and Phone Number are field types that support the Global Search functionality. Other field types, such as Date and Time of Day, cannot be indexed for Global Search, even if their values are stored.

Why Incorrect

B. Date: The Date field type is not supported for inclusion in Global Search indexing, as specified by NetSuite's list of eligible custom field types.
C. Time of Day: The Time of Day field type is also not on the list of custom fields that can be made available for Global Search.

1. NetSuite Help Center, SuiteAnswers. (Answer ID: 10002203). Custom Fields Available for Global Search. This document explicitly lists the custom field types for which the Global Search option is available. The list includes "Email Address" and "Phone Number" but excludes "Date" and "Time of Day".

2. NetSuite Help Center. (Topic: Creating a Custom Field). In the section describing the "Display" subtab for custom fields, the documentation for the "Global Search" checkbox states: "Check this box to include the field in global searches. This option is available only for some types of custom fields." This confirms that eligibility is type-dependent.
