Which two can be a part of a virtual server's definition. (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. rule(s) B. pool(s). A virtual server definition in F5 BIG-IP can directly include iRules and a default pool reference, but monitors, node addresses, and load balancing methods belong to other configuration objects.

Why each option
A virtual server definition in F5 BIG-IP can directly include iRules and a default pool reference, but monitors, node addresses, and load balancing methods belong to other configuration objects.
iRules can be assigned directly to a virtual server, allowing traffic inspection and manipulation policies to be enforced as connections arrive at that virtual IP and port.
A default pool is a standard component of a virtual server definition, designating which pool receives traffic that matches the virtual server and does not get redirected by an iRule.
Health monitors are assigned to pools or nodes, not to virtual servers - the virtual server itself does not perform availability checking of back-end resources.
Node addresses are defined in the node configuration and referenced indirectly through pool members, and are not listed directly within a virtual server definition.
Load balancing methods are configured within the pool definition, not within the virtual server definition.
