What is the role of health checks in NGINX load balancing?

To encrypt communication between NGINX and backend servers

To rewrite URLs before forwarding requests

To balance the load based on server CPU usage

To monitor the availability of backend servers and stop sending traffic to failed ones

A company runs a web application that serves users from different geographic regions. They have backend servers in the US and Europe. They want to use NGINX to load balance traffic, but they want to ensure that users are directed to the server closest to them to reduce latency. Which NGINX feature or approach should they use?

Use round-robin load balancing with a short timeout.

Use least connections load balancing to distribute traffic evenly across all servers.

Use a global load balancer that routes based on geographic location.

Use IP hash load balancing to ensure users always go to the same server.
