According to the FortiOS 7.6 Administrator Study Guide and official documentation, SD-WAN rules (services) determine the path selection for traffic matching specific criteria. Version 7.6 provides specific flexibility regarding how these strategies handle multiple member interfaces.
First, Manual with load balancing (Statement B) is a valid configuration. In the Manual strategy, the administrator orders interfaces by preference, but by enabling the Load balancing toggle, the FortiGate can distribute traffic across all members that are up.
Second, the Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy has been enhanced to support two modes. When the load balancing option is disabled, it acts as Lowest Cost (SLA) without load balancing (Statement A), selecting the single lowest-cost link that meets the SLA. Alternatively, by enabling the toggle, it functions as Lowest Cost (SLA) with load balancing (Statement D), where the FortiGate distributes traffic across all interfaces that satisfy the SLA target, regardless of their individual costs.
Statements C and E are incorrect because "Lowest Quality" is not a recognized SD-WAN strategy, and the Best Quality strategy is specifically a priority-based selection for a single "best" link, meaning the load balancing toggle is not available in the GUI when this mode is selected.
