The correct answer is A . In Versa SD-WAN forwarding profiles, next-hop priorities define which circuits are preferred. When the Load Balance next-hop selection method is used and two circuits share the same priority, sessions can be distributed across those equal-priority paths as long as they are usable and SLA-compliant. A lower priority number represents a more preferred group than a higher priority number. Therefore, two circuits with priority 1 are preferred over LTE with priority 2 .

In this scenario, both internet circuits are healthy and both have priority 1. The VOS device should load-balance sessions across those two circuits. LTE remains available as a lower-priority backup path and would normally be considered only when the preferred internet circuits are unavailable, fail path checks, or no longer meet the applicable policy conditions.

Traffic is not replicated because replication is a separate feature and not implied by Load Balance. The branch does not drop traffic while valid paths exist. LTE is not preferred merely because its priority number is higher; in path selection, priority 1 is preferred over priority 2.
