Correct answer: the Health probes settings.
Why this is the answer
The Health probes settings determine how the load balancer monitors the health of backend instances. To make LB1 stop sending traffic to unhealthy instances faster, you need to adjust the probe's frequency and unhealthy threshold. Decreasing the probe interval and the number of consecutive failures required to mark an instance as unhealthy will achieve this goal with minimal administrative effort. Changing the Backend pools settings would involve adding or removing VMs, not modifying health detection. Diagnostic settings are for logging and monitoring, not for influencing traffic distribution based on health. Load-balancing rules define how traffic is distributed among healthy instances, but they don't control how health is determined.
