Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The number of concurrent requests.
Why it's wrong here
That is maxRequests, not per-connection.

The number of requests per individual connection.
Why this is correct
This limits how many requests a single keep-alive connection processes before being closed.
- ✗
The total number of requests sent to a service.
Why it's wrong here
That would be a global rate limit.

Why it's wrong here
