Why each option

This question addresses the specific addressing requirements for configuring an IPv6 over IPv4 IPsec tunnel.

AThe source quick mode selector must be an IPv4 address.

The source quick mode selector must be an IPv6 address, as it specifies the IPv6 traffic that the tunnel is encapsulating and protecting.

BThe destination quick mode selector must be an IPv6 address.Correct

For an IPv6 over IPv4 IPsec tunnel, the quick mode selectors define the actual traffic being protected, which is IPv6, so the destination quick mode selector must be an IPv6 address.

CThe Local Gateway IP must be an IPv4 address.Correct

The Local Gateway IP refers to the FortiGate's external interface IP address for the tunnel, which, in an IPv6 over IPv4 setup, must be an IPv4 address to establish the underlying tunnel.

DThe remote gateway IP must be an IPv6 address.

The remote gateway IP is the IP address of the peer IPsec gateway on the underlying network, which for an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel must be an IPv4 address.
