Answer: D
“Host affinity allows you to use the following options:
❐ Use the client IP address to determine which group member was last used.
When the same client IP sends another request, the host makes the connection is made to that group member.
❐Place a cookie in the response to the client. When the client makes further
requests, the cookie data is used to determine which group member the client
last used. The host makes the connection to that group member.
❐ For HTTPS, extract the SSL session ID name from the connection information.
The host uses the session ID in place of a cookie or client IP address to
determine which group member was last used. The host makes the connection
to that group member.”
