Which statement is true for the synchronization of fabric-objects?

Refer to the exhibit.

You have deployed a security fabric with three FortiGate devices as shown in the exhibit. FGT_2 has the following configuration:

FGT_1 and FGT_3 are configured with the default setting.

Which statement is true for the synchronization of fabric-objects?
A . Objects from the FortiGate FGT_2 will be synchronized to the upstream FortiGate.
B . Objects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT__2.
C . Objects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to any downstream FortiGate.
D . Objects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT_3.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The fabric-object-unification setting on FGT_2 is set to local, which means that objects will not be synchronized to any other FortiGate devices in the security fabric. The default setting for fabric-object-unification is default, which means that objects will be synchronized from the root FortiGate to all downstream FortiGate devices.

Since FGT_2 is not the root FortiGate and the fabric-object-unification setting is set to local, objects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to FGT_2.
