A & D
A. For non-load balanced connections, packets forwarded by the cluster to the server contain the virtual MAC address of port2 as source. D. For load balanced connections, the primary encapsulates TCP SYN packets before forwarding them to the secondary.
FortiGate Infrastructure 7.2 Study Guide (p.317 & p.320): "To forward traffic correctly, a FortiGate HA solution uses virtual MAC addresses." "The primary forwards the SYN packet to the selected secondary. (...) This is also known as MAC address rewrite. In addition, the primary encapsulates the packet in an Ethernet frame type 0x8891. The encapsulation is done only for the first packet of a load balanced session. The encapsulated packet includes the original packet plus session information that the secondary requires to process the traffic."
