• C. Virtual IP addresses are used to distinguish between cluster members
• D. The primary device in the cluster is always assigned IP address 169.254.0.1

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Answer A is correct because the virtual IP address does change when devices join or leave the cluster. Answer C is also correct as virtual IP addresses help identify different members of the cluster. Options B and D are incorrect; heartbeat interfaces do not have manually assigned virtual IP addresses, and the primary device is not always assigned the specific IP address 169.254.0.1.
