Selected Answer: D
The debug line that matters is the last one: ``` ... fw_forward_handler ... msg="Denied by forward policy check (policy 0)" ``` * **“policy 0”** is FortiGate’s built-in **implicit deny rule**. – Whenever no user-configured firewall policy matches a packet, the FortiGate moves to policy 0 and drops it. Because the packet was rejected by **policy 0**, we know: * It did **not** hit any explicit (numbered) policy you created. * It wasn’t dropped for RPF or routing reasons—those would show different messages. So the correct reason is: **D. It matched the default implicit firewall policy.**
