Correct answer & explanation
VNFM monitors metrics and detects threshold breach
Scaling begins with the VNFM monitoring performance metrics against thresholds. When a threshold is exceeded, the VNFM triggers a scaling action. For scale-up, additional resources are allocated to the existing VNF instance. For scale-out, a new VNF instance is instantiated. Finally, load balancing is updated to distribute traffic across all instances.
