I feel like C) http could be misleading. SSH isn't HTTP.

Agreed! TCP monitors the connection state effectively.

I think D) tcp is the best choice. It's reliable for SSH.

I think C) http could work too, but not ideal.

I'm a bit confused about the UDP option; I don't think it applies to SSH, but I can't remember why exactly.

If I recall correctly, SSH uses port 22, so maybe the TCP option is the best fit here.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to choose a health monitor for a web service, and I think HTTP was the right choice there.

I think we might need to use the TCP health monitor since SSH operates over TCP, but I'm not entirely sure.
