95% Confident this is C instead of D.

WHY?
When you authorize a switch that is working in standalone mode, the switch management mode changes to managed switch mode (FortiLink mode). When FortiSwitch changes to managed mode, it runs the default FortiLink configuration. As a result, the configuration that the switch was running in standalone mode is replaced by the configuration pushed by FortiGate.

D is not inherently incorrect tho. If the question was asking about the fortilink management process itself, D would be correct. But it's asking about the END RESULT of the switch's existing config after being changed from standalone to manage—which means the switch was replaced with the DEFAULT fortilink config from fortigate.

"When you authorize a switch that is working in standalone mode, the switch configuration is saved locally, just before the switch changes to FortiLink mode. Later, if you change the management mode back to standalone, the switch automatically restores the configuration that was backed up previously"
