A virtual server is defined per the charts. The last five client connections were to members C, D, A, B, A. Given the conditions shown in the above graphic, if a client with IP address 205.12.45.52…

This option would be incorrect if Source IP persistence dictates a different pool member or if another load balancing method, not leading to this member, were in use.

If the virtual server uses a Source IP persistence profile, the BIG-IP system ensures that subsequent connections originating from the same client IP address (205.12.45.52) are consistently directed to the same pool member (172.16.20.4:80). This ensures session continuity for the client, overriding general load balancing after initial selection, assuming an active persistence entry exists for this client to this member.
