Both are correct but place connotes physicality and index is more logical than physical, whereas indexer is far more physical. I agree with Quizlet. How about a link for those flashcards?

Both could be considered correct, but I favor "index".

After having a look at the content in Quizlet and seeing many poorly worded, inaccurate, and wrong information, I recommend you stay away from it, at least for Splunk information.
