I think the answer to this should be A, this is as per Study Guide page 492.

"When HA override is disabled, the HA uptime has precedence over the priority setting. This means that if you
must manually fail over to a secondary device, you can do so by reducing the HA uptime of the primary
FortiGate. You can do this by running the diagnose sys ha reset-uptime command on the primary
FortiGate, which resets its HA uptime to 0."

Correct answer is D, as number of monitored ports is a first tie breaker, then is HA uptime -> priority -> serial number.
