Why each option

Assuming the exhibit depicts a Priority Group Activation load balancing method, pool members B and E would be selected if they are the only available members within the highest active priority group.

A172.16.15.9.80
B172.16.15.4.80Correct

If the load balancing method is Priority Group Activation, and members B and E are the only available members in the highest-priority group, then all new connections will be directed to them. This method ensures traffic is directed to the most preferred and available servers.

C172.10.15.2.80
D172.16.15.1.80

Members A and D are likely in a lower priority group than B and E, meaning they would only receive connections if all members in the higher priority group become unavailable.

E172.16.15.7.80Correct

If the load balancing method is Priority Group Activation, and members B and E are the only available members in the highest-priority group, then all new connections will be directed to them. This method ensures traffic is directed to the most preferred and available servers.
