Explanation

In an active-active configuration, multiple servers simultaneously handle incoming traffic, distributing the workload across all nodes - this is the definition of load balancing. Active-passive (C) keeps one server on standby and only activates it on failure, which is failover/high availability, not load balancing. Round robin (A) is a scheduling algorithm used by a load balancer, not load balancing itself. Failover (D) describes a redundancy mechanism for availability, not load distribution.
