Explanation
FortiGate requires two conditions to generate logs for application usage: (1) An application control security profile must be enabled and applied to the firewall policy (Option D) - this tells FortiGate to inspect and identify application traffic. (2) Logging must be explicitly enabled on that firewall policy (Option C) - even with a security profile applied, FortiGate will not record log entries unless logging is turned on for that policy. Option A (web filtering) is for URL/web category filtering, not application usage. Option B (creating an application control policy) is incomplete - the profile must also be attached to a firewall policy and logging must be enabled for logs to be generated.
