Explanation

FirePOWER services support clustering (B) for scalable, multi-unit high availability and active/standby (C) as the traditional HA mode where a passive unit monitors the primary and takes over upon failure - these are the two officially supported HA deployment modes for FirePOWER.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (Monitor mode): This is a passive inspection/IDS-only mode, not an HA topology.
D (Multicontext): Multicontext is an ASA feature that creates virtual firewall instances; FirePOWER does not support multicontext as an HA mode.
E (Active/Active): Active/active HA requires multicontext mode on ASA, which FirePOWER services do not support - making this option unavailable for FirePOWER deployments.

Memory tip: FirePOWER HA = "C/S only" - Clustering and Standby. If the option requires multicontext (active/active, multicontext itself), it's an ASA-only feature and won't apply to FirePOWER services.
