This is a classic case of 'the devil is in the details'. The iRule only covers FTP and Telnet, so C is the correct answer.

Wait, if the request is on port 22, and the iRule doesn't have a condition for that, wouldn't it just get dropped? I'm going with C.

I disagree, I believe the answer is A) ftppool because port 22 is not mentioned in the iRule.

Haha, looks like the network admin forgot to add a catch-all rule for any other ports. I'm guessing the request will be dropped, so C is the right answer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The iRule doesn't seem to handle the case for port 22, so I'm going to go with D. The pool can't be determined from the information provided.

The iRule only checks for port 21 (FTP) and port 23 (Telnet), so the request on port 22 (SSH) will not match any of the conditions. I think the correct answer is C.
