The show route forwarding-table command in Junos provides:
A. The outgoing interface(s) associated with the destination prefixes. This command shows the next-hop information for each route, including the outgoing interface or interfaces toward a specific destination.
B. However, it doesn't directly display the protocol from where the route was learned. For that, you might need to use other commands like show route protocol or show route detail.
C. It does not display the entire routing table stored on the Routing Engine (RE), rather, it specifically shows the forwarding table, which is a subset of the routing table and is used for forwarding decisions.
D. It does not provide details about the number of routes that are active, hidden, or in a hold-down state. This information is typically obtained from other commands like show route summary or show route detail.
It's A, not C. The wording on this question makes it a bit confusing.
The link (and Nasredd's post below) gives the description. This displays the Routing Engine's forwarding table, including the network-layer prefixes and their next hops. Notice is says the RE's forwarding table, which later says is derived from the RE's active routes. A routing table and a forwarding table is different. Show route forwarding-table is not displaying the table stored in the RE. It's a modified version of it, what will be sent to the PFE. To show the table in the RE, you simply just the show route.

Description
Display the Routing Engine's forwarding table, including the network-layer prefixes and their next hops. This command is used to help verify that the routing protocol process has relayed the correction information to the forwarding table. The Routing Engine constructs and maintains one or more routing tables. From the routing tables, the Routing Engine derives a table of active routes, called the forwarding table.
NOTE: The Routing Engine copies the forwarding table to the Packet Forwarding Engine, the part of the router that is responsible for forwarding packets. To display the entries in the Packet Forwarding Engine's forwarding table, use the show pfe route command.

A. the outgoing interface(s) associated with the destination prefixes
Explanation: The 'show route forwarding-table' command in Junos OS displays information about the forwarding table, which is used by the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) to make forwarding decisions. The forwarding table contains information such as destination prefixes, outgoing interfaces, and next-hop addresses. This command allows you to view how traffic is being forwarded in the network, including the outgoing interfaces associated with the destination prefixes.
The show route forwarding-table command displays the outgoing interface(s) and next-hop information associated with the destination prefixes in the forwarding table, but not the routing table itself. The command does not provide information about the protocol from where the route was learned or the number of routes in different states.
Actually disregard, it is C https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/bgp/topics/ref/command/show-route-forwarding-table.html
