   An e-commerce company runs a promotional sale. During the first minute, the site receives a burst of 5,000 requests from legitimate customers. The application servers can handle the request volume, but the database behind them is struggling because each request triggers a complex query. The administrator wants to protect the database from being overwhelmed by the request burst. Which NGINX configuration should be applied?

   • ASet a rate limit of 100 requests per second per client IP address.
   • BEnable the sendfile directive.
   • CIncrease the proxy_read_timeout to 120 seconds.
   • DThrottle bandwidth to 10 MB/s per client IP address.

   A company exposes a public API for checking order status. A partner integration is polling the API every 100 milliseconds, which is causing unnecessary load on the backend. The API responses are tiny JSON objects, so bandwidth is not a concern. The company wants to enforce a reasonable polling interval without breaking the partner's integration. Which NGINX configuration should be used?

   • ASet the proxy_buffering directive to off.
   • BSet the client_keepalive_timeout to 10 seconds.
   • CSet a bandwidth throttle of 10 KB/s per partner IP address.
   • DSet a rate limit of 1 request per second per partner IP address.
