Answer: C

Explanation:

The mem-util health check is using a python (.py) script to return a specific metric back, which is then compared to the limitation set in the arguments. This is an excellent way to customize health checks to support metrics that may not be supported out of the box with Consul.

api is considered to be an HTTP check

ssh is a tcp check

web-app is a TTL check
