Explanation

Correct Answer: API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane.

*****************************************

>> We CANNOT use Shared Load balancer to load balance APIs on customer hosted runtimes

>> For Hybrid deployment models, the on-premises are first connected to Runtime Manager using Runtime Manager agent. So, the connection is initiated first from On-premises to Runtime Manager. Then all control can be done from Runtime Manager.

>> Anypoint Runtime Manager CANNOT ensure automatic HA. Clusters/Server Groups etc should be configured before hand.

Only TRUE statement in the given choices is, API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane. There are several references below to justify this statement.
