The interface 1.1 of the BIG-IP device has been connected to a link dedicated to traffic on VLAN 120. What should the BIG-IP Administrator do to receive traffic from the VLAN?
The correct answer is B. Create a new VLAN object and assign the interface 1.1 untagged. This question asks what configuration is needed on a BIG-IP device to receive traffic for a specific VLAN (120) when interface 1.1 is connected to a link dedicated to that VLAN.

Why each option
This question asks what configuration is needed on a BIG-IP device to receive traffic for a specific VLAN (120) when interface 1.1 is connected to a link dedicated to that VLAN.
Setting a 'Customer Tag' is not the correct terminology for associating an interface to a VLAN; interfaces are assigned as tagged or untagged members to a VLAN object with a specific VLAN ID.
To receive traffic for a VLAN on a dedicated untagged link, the BIG-IP Administrator must create a VLAN object, specify the VLAN ID (120), and then assign the physical interface (1.1) to this VLAN as an untagged member. This configures the BIG-IP to understand that all traffic arriving on interface 1.1 belongs to VLAN 120 without an 802.1Q tag.
A trunk object is used to group multiple interfaces for redundancy and bandwidth, but it does not define which VLANs are allowed on those interfaces or how they are tagged; VLANs are assigned directly to interfaces (or trunks).
Assigning a trunk object to a VLAN is an incorrect statement; VLANs are assigned to interfaces or trunks, not the other way around.
