Why each option
This question tests understanding of the ClusterXL Sticky Decision Function (SDF) and its applicability within different ClusterXL modes.
The Sticky Decision Function (SDF) is relevant only to Load Sharing implementations of ClusterXL, where it controls how connections are distributed among cluster members, and it can be modified only in that mode - in High Availability mode the SDF does not apply because a single active member handles all traffic.
In Load Sharing mode the SDF distributes connections across multiple members, not exclusively through a pivot - the pivot concept applies to specific forwarding decisions, not all connection processing.
The SDF is not configured using cpconfig - it is configured through the ClusterXL settings in SmartConsole or via the relevant configuration files.
The SDF is a ClusterXL-level connection distribution mechanism and is not dependent on or exclusive to SecureXL acceleration.
