Why each option
In Transparent Mode, `forward-domain` is an attribute configured on a FortiGate interface to group interfaces for Layer 2 forwarding.
In FortiGate's Transparent mode, the `forward-domain` setting is configured directly on an interface, specifying which Layer 2 forwarding segment the interface belongs to and enabling Layer 2 communication between interfaces within the same domain.
Firewall policies operate at Layer 3/4 and above and are not directly associated with Layer 2 forwarding domains.
Static routes are Layer 3 constructs used for routing IP packets and are irrelevant in a Layer 2 transparent forwarding context.
A virtual domain (VDOM) is a logical partitioning of a FortiGate, but `forward-domain` is an interface-specific setting *within* a VDOM, not an attribute of the VDOM itself.
