What is a correct statement about using rewrite and responder policies in Citrix ADC?

• A. Rewrite policies are used to generate redirects and custom responses.
• B. Responder policies are used to modify HTTP headers.
• C. Responder policies can redirect traffic and generate custom responses.
• D. Rewrite policies are used to monitor backend health.

Answer: (C)

Responder policies allow the ADC to handle a request directly by either redirecting the client to another URL or returning a custom HTTP response, without always contacting the backend. This makes them the right choice for scenarios like serving a maintenance page, blocking content, or guiding users to a login page via a redirect, all at the edge. Rewrite policies, on the other hand, modify the content or headers of requests and responses (such as rewriting URLs or headers) rather than generating new responses or redirects. Health monitoring is handled by monitors, not rewrite policies.
