Why each option

Based on standard F5 BIG-IP pool member status, only pool members that are in an 'Up' and 'Enabled' state receive traffic.

AServ1, serv2,serv3, serv4

This option includes serv2, which would not receive traffic if it were 'Down' or 'Disabled'.

Bserv1, serv3

This option excludes serv4, which would receive traffic if it were 'Up' and 'Enabled'.

Cserv1, serv3, serv4Correct

Pool members receive traffic only when their operational status is 'Up' (indicating health monitor success) and they are 'Enabled' (administratively active). This implies serv1, serv3, and serv4 are in such a state, while serv2 is likely 'Down' or 'Disabled'.

Dserv1

This option excludes serv3 and serv4, which would receive traffic if they were 'Up' and 'Enabled'.
