he correct answer is:

C. Active device remains active Standby device remains standby

Explanation

VLAN Fail-safe forces an LTM to transition to standby if it loses connectivity on configured failover VLANs.

Both LTMs are powered off.

The switch connected to LTM1 (Active unit) is powered off first.

Since the LTM itself is powered off, no HA evaluation or failover decision occurs.

Then the switch connected to LTM2 (Standby unit) is powered off.

Again, the unit is powered off, so no HA state transition occurs.

Because both LTMs are powered off during the switch shutdown sequence, neither unit detects VLAN fail-safe conditions or performs a failover decision.

Therefore, when powered back on (before powering on the switches), their configured HA roles remain:

LTM1 remains Active

LTM2 remains Standby
