Given that VLAN failsafe is enabled on the external VLAN and the network that the active BIGIP's external VLAN is connected to has failed, which statement is always true about the results.
The correct answer is A. The active system will note the failure in the HA table.. When VLAN failsafe is enabled and a network failure occurs on the monitored VLAN, the active system will always detect and record this critical event in its HA table.

Why each option
When VLAN failsafe is enabled and a network failure occurs on the monitored VLAN, the active system will always detect and record this critical event in its HA table.
When VLAN failsafe is triggered due to a network failure on a monitored VLAN, the active system detects and records this critical event, which influences its high availability state.
Rebooting is an optional failsafe action; VLAN failsafe can also be configured to simply initiate a failover without a reboot.
Initiating a failover is one possible configured action for VLAN failsafe, but it is not always true as reboot is another available action.
Restarting the TMM is not a standard or configurable action for VLAN failsafe; the common actions are failover or reboot.
