Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a listener for port 8080 on the ALB.
ALB supports custom ports; you create a listener for port 8080. Option A is wrong because ALB does not require a specific security group port; you can configure any port. Option B is wrong because you cannot change the ALB's default ports; you add a listener. Option C is wrong because ALB itself does not need a public IP; it uses a DNS name.
