C: Floating self-IP addresses are used in high-availability (HA) configurations where two or more systems (often in an active/standby setup) share a single IP address. This allows network devices to consistently route traffic to the correct system, as the floating IP address can move between the systems in the HA pair depending on which one is active. This ensures continuity and availability of network services.
