If there are high-CPU use problems caused by the IPS, you can use the diagnose test application
ipsmonitor command with option 5 to isolate where the problem might be. Option 5 enables IPS bypass
mode. In this mode, the IPS engine is still running, but it is not inspecting traffic. If the CPU use decreases
after that, it usually indicates that the volume of traffic being inspected is too high for that FortiGate model.

Answer B has been confirmed based on the study guide, which states:
"If the CPU use decreases after that, it usually indicates that the volume of traffic being inspected is too high for that FortiGate model." I’ve also updated the answer on the website accordingly.
