Answer is A. 5xx errors are server side (client side is 4xx). These server side errors correlate with the high CPU load. Putting into an ASG will allow horizontal scaling. Not B. ALB health checks prevent unhealthy instances from trying to serve client requests. More frequent health checks won't change anything. Not C. Sticky sessions are relevant if the load isn't truly balanced. Not D. Idle timout is irrelevant. There is no need to increase the threshold for closing connections due to idling.
