A BIG-IP Administrator needs to configure a MAC masquerade address for traffic-group 1. Where on the GUI should this configuration be performed?
The correct answer is C. Device Management > Traffic Groups > traffic-group-1. MAC masquerade addresses on a BIG-IP are configured per traffic group under the Device Management section of the GUI.

Why each option
MAC masquerade addresses on a BIG-IP are configured per traffic group under the Device Management section of the GUI.
System > Configuration > Device > General contains hostname and management settings, not traffic group MAC configuration.
Local Traffic > Traffic Class is used for traffic classification policies, not for HA traffic group MAC settings.
Traffic groups in BIG-IP HA configurations own the floating IP and MAC addresses used for failover. MAC masquerade is a per-traffic-group setting found at Device Management > Traffic Groups > traffic-group-1, where you can assign a static MAC address so that ARP re-convergence is not required after a failover event.
Network > ARP Static List manages static ARP entries for IP-to-MAC mappings, not MAC masquerade assignment for traffic groups.
