Multicast AnyCast + MSDP

Experts, I am really confused as when to configure AnyCast and when to configure MSDP.

I have this lab setup where I have two RPs configured. I have 4 routers statically configured with these two RP addresses. The clients behind the routers are receiving multicast stream.

As I have configured RPs statically on the 4 routes, I do not have any form of load balancing and Redundancy of RPs. Correct?

I was reading Cisco documentation where I am getting confused ..

a) Do I only need to configure AnyCast for load balancing and Redundancy of RPs?
b) Do I only need to configure MSDP for load balancing and Redundancy of RPs?
c) Do I need to configure AnyCast + MSDP for load balancing and Redundancy of RPs?

Not clear on the concept as when do we need AnyCast vs Anycast + MSDP?

Hoping some smart gents and women can clear my doubt.
