Which statement is true about the synchronization process, as performed by the Configuration Utility or by typing b config sync all.

The synchronization process can be initiated from either the active or standby system, depending on which system has the desired configuration to be pushed or pulled.

While often initiated from the system with the latest configuration (usually the active one), the process itself can be run from either device; the critical part is ensuring the correct source configuration is chosen for synchronization.

The config sync process in BIG-IP, whether initiated via the Configuration Utility or the command line (b config sync all), specifically synchronizes the active configuration, primarily stored in the /config/bigip.conf file, to ensure it is identical across the peer device. This file contains all the user-defined configurations such as virtual servers, pools, nodes, etc., that are essential for traffic processing and high availability.

While some other configuration files and objects might be part of a broader sync, the core synchronization explicitly ensures the main /config/bigip.conf file is consistent, not necessarily /config/bigip_base.conf which holds factory defaults and is not typically synced.
