Why each option

On a FortiGate, individual Virtual Domains (VDOMs) can be independently configured with their own operating mode, static routes, and firewall policies.

AOperating mode (NAT/route or transparent)Correct

Each VDOM on a FortiGate can be configured to operate independently in either NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode, providing flexibility in network design.

BStatic routesCorrect

Static routes are configured within the routing table of each specific VDOM, allowing each virtual instance to have its own unique network paths.

CHostname

The hostname is a global setting that applies to the entire FortiGate device, not a parameter that can be uniquely configured for individual VDOMs.

DSystem time

System time is a global setting for the entire FortiGate appliance and cannot be configured independently for each VDOM.

EFirewall PoliciesCorrect

Firewall policies are fundamental to a VDOM's function, with each VDOM maintaining its distinct set of policies to control and secure traffic flow pertinent to that virtual environment.
