Explanation

On a Citrix ADC HTTP-ECV monitor, the Receive String field is found under Special Parameters - not Basic Parameters - and it defines the keyword the monitor searches for in the server's HTTP response. When the response contains the specified string, the service is marked UP, which is exactly the behavior required.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is close but incorrect: enabling the Reverse option inverts the logic, meaning the service would be marked DOWN if the string is found - the opposite of what's needed.
• C is wrong because the Receive String field does not exist under Basic Parameters for an HTTP-ECV monitor; it lives under Special Parameters.
• D is wrong because the Send String field specifies what the monitor sends to the server (the outgoing request), not what it checks in the response.

Memory tip: Think "Special Rx" - the Receive string is a Special parameter (like an Rx prescription), and a match means the server is healthy (UP) by default, unless you flip it with Reverse.
