Which of the following are the three main business drivers for placing LTM into a network? (Choose three.)

Securing connections between WAN sites is the function of VPN gateways or SD-WAN solutions, not LTM, which operates as an application delivery controller within or in front of the data center.

LTM's core load balancing function distributes client requests across server pools, eliminating single points of failure and enabling horizontal scaling so applications remain available as demand grows.

Authenticating and authorizing users is the primary role of F5 Access Policy Manager (APM), a separate module from LTM that provides identity-aware access control.

LTM improves application performance through features such as TCP optimization, SSL offloading, HTTP compression, connection multiplexing, and caching, all of which reduce latency and lower the processing burden on backend servers.

LTM includes application security capabilities through integration with F5 Application Security Manager (ASM) and traffic policy enforcement, enabling protection against layer 7 threats as part of the application delivery path.

Dedicated Web Application Firewall functionality is provided by F5 Advanced WAF or ASM as a licensed module; it is not a core LTM business driver on its own.
