Refer to the exhibits. Based on the current HA status, an administrator updates the override and priority parameters on HQ-NGFW-1 and HQ-NGFW-2 as shown in the exhibit. What would be the expected…

The correct answer is B. HQ-NGFW-2 will take over as the primary because it has the override enable setting and higher. With override enabled on HQ-NGFW-2 and its higher priority (110 vs. 90), HQ-NGFW-2 will become the primary device, preempting HQ-NGFW-1 despite the current primary status.
