Why each option
In F5 BIG-IP ASM, an HTTP class is a reusable policy binding object that can be referenced by multiple virtual servers simultaneously.
The relationship is inverted - a web application is tied to a single HTTP class, not one web application shared across multiple HTTP classes.
A virtual server can have multiple HTTP classes and web applications associated with it, not just one.
An ASM-enabled HTTP class is defined independently of any single virtual server and acts as a linkage between a security policy and traffic. Because it exists as its own configuration object, it can be applied to multiple virtual servers, enabling consistent WAF policy enforcement across different traffic entry points.
Each ASM-enabled HTTP class supports only one active security policy at a time, not several concurrent policies.
