Why each option

To ensure existing connections are directed to another available pool member when a current member goes down, the BIG-IP Administrator must configure the "Action on Service Down" setting.

ASet Action on Service Down sing under the server configuration to reselect.

The "Action on Service Down" setting is configured at the pool or pool member level, not within a general "server configuration" as implied.

BReconfigure the pool motor members as UP.

Reconfiguring pool members as UP would prevent the monitor from marking them down, which contradicts the goal of handling traffic for a member that is already down.

CEnable mirroring within the persistence profile.

Enabling mirroring within a persistence profile ensures session state synchronization for failover, but it does not directly control the reselection of a new pool member for existing connections when a member goes down.

DSet Action Service Down setting under the pool configuration to reselect.Correct

The "Action on Service Down" setting within the pool configuration determines how the BIG-IP system handles existing connections when a monitored pool member becomes unavailable; setting it to "reselect" forces these connections to a new, available pool member. This ensures traffic continues to flow through a healthy member without interruption from the failed server.
