C is the correct answer

The following example is taken from the man page of syslog.conf.
# Store critical stuff in critical
#
*.=crit;kern.none /var/adm/critical

# Kernel messages are first, stored in the kernel
# file, critical messages and higher ones also go
# to another host and to the console
#
kern.* /var/adm/kernel
kern.crit @finlandia
kern.crit /dev/console
kern.info;kern.!err /var/adm/kernel-info
