Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Configuration changes on the active unit are automatically replicated to the standby unit.
Why this is correct
FMC pushes configuration to both units; active changes are synced to standby.
✗
Standby unit must be configured separately with identical settings.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration is replicated automatically.
✗
Both units can be managed independently via FMC.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration is managed from FMC and synchronized; direct changes on standby are not synced.
✗
Failover is configured on the FTD directly without FMC.
Why it's wrong here
FMC manages HA configuration for FTD.
