The correct answer is A. inherit the pool's monitor D. assign a monitor to the specific pool member E. do not assign any monitor to the specific pool member. When configuring monitors for individual GTM pool members, administrators can inherit the pool monitor, assign a dedicated monitor, or explicitly assign no monitor.

Why each option
When configuring monitors for individual GTM pool members, administrators can inherit the pool monitor, assign a dedicated monitor, or explicitly assign no monitor.
Inheriting the pool's monitor allows the pool member to use whatever monitor is configured at the pool level, simplifying management when all members share the same health check requirements.
There is no 'default monitor' option at the pool member level in GTM configuration - monitors are either inherited, explicitly assigned, or disabled.
Pool members cannot inherit a monitor from the WideIP level; monitor inheritance at the member level only applies from the parent pool, not from the WideIP object.
Assigning a monitor directly to a specific pool member overrides the pool-level setting and allows granular health checking tailored to that individual member.
Explicitly assigning no monitor to a specific pool member is a valid option, causing GTM to always consider that member available without performing health checks on it.
