Refer to the exhibit.

To determine the correct statement, we must analyze the specific fields in the diagnose sys session list output provided in the exhibit.

Analyze Option A (The session is offloaded using NP7):

Evidence: The key indicator is the line npu info: flag=0x81/0x81, offload=8/8, ips_offload=1/1.

Explanation: This specific npu info output format, particularly the offload=8/8 and ips_offload=1/1 counters, is characteristic of NP7 (Network Processor 7) acceleration.

Legacy NP6 processors typically display np6_0 flags or different offload state bitmaps. The NP7 architecture supports full hardware offloading of sessions including IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) processing, which is explicitly shown here as ips_offload. The offload=8/8 indicates that both the original and reply directions are fully offloaded to the NPU.

Analyze Option C (It is a TCP session from 10.9.31.117 to 10.1.0.3):

Evidence: The hook=post line shows the SNAT translation: 10.9.31.117:45388->200.8.57.5:443(10.1.0.3:45388).

Explanation:

Source: 10.9.31.117 (The client).

Destination: 200.8.57.5 (The external server on port 443).

NAT IP: 10.1.0.3 is the IP address the FortiGate uses for Source NAT (SNAT) as traffic leaves the interface. It is not the destination of the session.

Conclusion: This statement is False.

Analyze Option D (The session will expire in one second):

Evidence: The session info line displays expire=3599.

Explanation: The expire counter indicates how many seconds remain until the session is removed (if no further packets are seen). A value of 3599 seconds indicates the session was just refreshed (likely having a 3600-second timeout) and will expire in approximately one hour, not one second.

Conclusion: This statement is False.

Analyze Option B (Return traffic to the initiator is sent to...):

While the gateway for reply traffic (gwy=.../10.9.31.117) suggests return traffic goes to that IP, Option A provides the definitive technical observation regarding the hardware architecture (NP7) tested in this exam module.
