I practiced a similar question, and I think Ease of maintenance might not be a primary reason for clustering.

I remember clustering is often about ensuring high availability, so I think Failover could be one of the answers.

I'm a little confused by this question. Reducing power consumption and ease of maintenance don't seem like the main reasons for clustering to me. I'm pretty sure the key reasons are to provide failover and load balancing capabilities. I'll double-check those before submitting my answer.

Okay, let's see here. Clustering is all about making sure your servers can handle the workload and stay up and running, so failover and load balancing make total sense. I'm going to go with those two options.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know clustering is used for redundancy and high availability, but I'm not sure if reducing power consumption or ease of maintenance are common reasons. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Oh, this is easy! C and D are the winners here. Clustering is all about making sure your network can handle any disaster, from server failure to a sudden surge of traffic. It's like having a cheat code for your IT system.
