   A company runs a mix of short-lived HTTP requests and long-lived WebSocket connections through the same virtual server and pool. The administrator wants to ensure that the WebSocket connections do not accumulate on a single server, while also keeping the HTTP requests evenly distributed. The pool has three servers with identical capacity. Which load balancing approach best meets this requirement?

   • ACreate two separate pools, one for HTTP and one for WebSocket, each with its own load balancing method.
   • BUse Round Robin for the pool, which will distribute both HTTP and WebSocket connections evenly by rotation.
   • CUse the Fastest algorithm, which will route connections to the server with the lowest response time, ensuring even distribution.
   • DUse Least Connections for the pool, which will balance based on active connection counts, preventing any single server from accumulating too many long-lived sessions.
