C is correct.

The most efficient way to deploy a single FortiGate and FortiSwitch across 100 branch offices while minimizing manual configuration errors is to use zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) through FortiManager. ZTP allows both FortiGate and FortiSwitch devices to automatically retrieve their configurations from FortiManager as soon as they are powered on and connected to the network. This approach eliminates the need for manually configuring each device, which reduces the risk of errors and ensures consistency across all locations. Other options, such as FortiEdge Cloud or a non-existent “FortiSwitch Manager,” do not provide the integrated, large-scale configuration capabilities that ZTP with FortiManager offers. Using ZTP streamlines deployment and ensures that every branch receives the correct configuration automatically.


For reference: Pages 71, 95, and 98. All mention why managing FortiGate, in return, the FortiSwitch, can simpify large deployments and minimize errors.
