Believe D is correct answer If you add multiple Symantec Endpoint Protection Managers at the same priority, then clients and optional Enforcers can connect to any of the Symantec Endpoint Protection Managers. Clients automatically balance the load between available Symantec Endpoint Protection Managers at that priority. https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/151377/creating-and-assigning-a-management-serv.html
