   An NGINX configuration has `location /api/` with a nested `location = /api/health`. A request arrives for `/api/health`. Which location block handles this request?

   • AThe outer prefix location `/api/` because it is the parent.
   • BNeither location, because nested exact matches are not allowed.
   • CBoth locations, because the nested location inherits the parent's configuration.
   • DThe nested exact match `= /api/health` because exact matches take precedence over prefix matches.

   An NGINX server has the following location blocks: `location = /exact`, `location ^~ /images/`, `location /images/logo.png`, and `location /`. A request arrives for `/images/logo.png`. Which location block handles this request?

   • A`location /images/logo.png` because it is the longest prefix match.
   • B`location /` because it is the catch-all and always handles unmatched requests.
   • C`location ^~ /images/` because the `^~` modifier stops further matching.
   • D`location = /exact` because exact matches always take precedence.
