Why each option
This question tests knowledge of where BIG-IP stores its pool and traffic management configuration by default.
/config/BIG-IP_base.conf stores base platform and networking configuration such as self-IPs and VLANs, not pool or LTM object definitions.
Pool configurations and other traffic management objects on BIG-IP are stored in /config/bigip.conf (represented here as /config/BIG-IP.conf). This file contains the full Local Traffic Manager configuration including pools, virtual servers, profiles, and monitors. The leading 'l' in the choice appears to be a display artifact for the path /config/BIG-IP.conf.
BIG-IP does not store its traffic management configuration under /etc/; that directory is reserved for OS-level system files.
/config/BigDB.dat is the BIG-IP database file used for system variables and global settings, not for pool or LTM object configuration.
Concept tested: BIG-IP LTM configuration file default location
