Selected Answer: B
B is a correct one: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-web-interface-help/network/network-network-profiles/network-network-profiles-monitor A monitor profile is used to monitor IPSec tunnels and to monitor a next-hop device for policy-based forwarding (PBF) rules. In both cases, the monitor profile is used to specify an action to take when a resource (IPSec tunnel or next-hop device) becomes unavailable. wait-recover—Wait for the tunnel to recover; do not take additional action. Packets will continue to be sent according to the PBF rule. fail-over—Traffic will fail over to a backup path, if one is available. The firewall uses routing table lookup to determine routing for the duration of this session.
