Why each option

Data Leak Prevention (DLP) scanning on FortiGate supports actions such as blocking the data transmission, quarantining the source IP address, or simply logging the detected event.

ABlockCorrect

FortiGate DLP can be configured to block the transmission of files or content that matches a defined DLP sensor, preventing data exfiltration.

BReject

'Reject' is not a standard, distinct action available in FortiGate DLP policies; 'Block' is the common enforcement action.

CTag

'Tag' is not a direct enforcement action in FortiGate DLP policies but rather a classification or labeling mechanism used in broader data management solutions.

DLog onlyCorrect

A DLP policy can be set to 'Log only', which means it will record an event when sensitive data is detected but will not take any enforcement action.

EQuarantine IP addressCorrect

FortiGate DLP offers the action to 'Quarantine IP address', which isolates the source IP address involved in a data leak incident for a specified duration.
