Explanation

All three options are legitimate load balancing algorithms. Round-robin distributes requests sequentially to each server in turn. Weighted round-robin assigns more traffic to higher-capacity servers based on assigned weights. Least connections routes new requests to the server currently handling the fewest active connections. Each algorithm suits different traffic patterns and server configurations, so all three are commonly used in network load balancers.
