D, as dkubo says, because "less than 2" means you only can select two active members with higher priority.

Less than means the minimum number of members that must be available in one priority group before system direct traffic to lower priority group members so I think answer Is E not D

The priority group is set to less than 2. The status shows that A and C are unavailable, so the packet is forwarded to B and D. Comparing these two, D is the one with the Least Connections.

The load balancing method is Least Connections, which choose the member that has the least number of active connections. In this case, I think the true answer is E, because this member has least number of current connections.

B has no priority and received only two connections? Shouldn't I get two more?
