Question options:

A. Latency-based routing

B. Simple routing

C. Geolocation routing

D. Failover routing

Answer:

C. Geolocation routing

Step-by-step explanation:

Geolocation routing is used in allocating resources for different traffic sources originating from different geographical locations. Consequently you are allocating a different resource to handle a different DNS query based on the location/origination of the DNS query. In the above example, you will need to for example to route all queries from any other place in the world that is not US or Europe to a load balancer for Sydney. Your application in their different locations using geolocation routing would have to be adapted and localized to the region so as to serve the audience there
