Why each option

F5 BIG-IP GTM supports load balancing to both BIG-IP LTM virtual servers and non-BIG-IP hosts, enabling global traffic management across heterogeneous environments.

ATrueCorrect

GTM pool members can be BIG-IP LTM virtual servers, which communicate with GTM via the iQuery protocol to provide real-time performance metrics, or they can be non-BIG-IP hosts such as generic servers and third-party devices monitored via standard probing methods like ICMP or TCP. This flexibility allows GTM to distribute DNS-based traffic globally across mixed infrastructure without requiring all endpoints to run BIG-IP software.

BFalse

False is incorrect because GTM is explicitly designed with multiple pool member types - including both BIG-IP LTM virtual servers and generic non-BIG-IP hosts - to support hybrid and heterogeneous data center deployments.
