From Official Doc.,
Scenario 2: Servers Fail to Communicate – Primary’s Gateway Unreachable
• All FortiNAC processes are functioning normal on primary and secondary.
• The network is basically functioning but communications between primary and
secondary are down.
• Primary’s network communication to its defined gateway is also down.
Scenario 2 Failover Behavior:
1. Primary stays active. Loader(s) remain running.
2. Secondary becomes active and starts its loader(s). Both FortiNAC Servers are now running.
3. After restoring the network communication between primary and secondary, the primary loader(s) immediately shut down. Secondary Server remains active.

I am not sure that, But I think the most closest answer is <<<<< A >>>>>>
