Why each option
A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic or workloads evenly across multiple servers to prevent any single server from being overwhelmed.
A VPN concentrator aggregates multiple VPN tunnels from remote users into the corporate network - it does not distribute processing workloads between servers.
A content filter inspects and restricts web or application content based on policy - it plays no role in distributing server workloads.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and servers and can cache content, but it does not evenly distribute a server's existing workload to additional servers.
A load balancer sits in front of a server pool and uses algorithms such as round-robin or least-connections to evenly distribute requests across available servers, directly solving the problem of one server consuming 98% of its resources by offloading traffic to additional servers.
