Why each option

BIG-IP config sync synchronizes the /config/BIG-IP.conf file between the two systems in a redundant pair, making them identical. Only this specific file is involved in a standard sync operation.

AThe process should always be run from the standby system.

Config sync should be run from the active system or the system holding the desired configuration, not necessarily the standby, to push the correct config to the peer.

BThe process should always be run from the system with the latest configuration.

While running sync from the system with the latest configuration is generally best practice, the answer is incomplete - the key technical fact being tested is which file is synchronized, not which system initiates it.

CThe two /config/BIG-IP.conf configuration files are synchronized (made identical) each time theCorrect

During a config sync operation - whether run via the Configuration Utility or 'b config sync all' - the /config/BIG-IP.conf file is copied from the source system to the peer, making the two files identical. This is the primary configuration file synced in a standard BIG-IP high-availability sync operation.

DMultiple files, including /config/BIG-IP.conf and /config/BIG-IP_base.conf, are synchronized

/config/BIG-IP_base.conf contains base network configuration that is not synchronized during a standard config sync; only /config/BIG-IP.conf is synchronized.
