I don't get it. You are all saying that there is no "Forward-Untrust-Certificate", But in the picture there is clearly a "Forward-Untrust-Certificate" So we know it's configured, So shouldn't the answer be A??

Selected Answer: A
Additionally, set up a Forward Untrust certificate for the firewall to present to clients when the server certificate is signed by a CA that the firewall does not trust. This ensures that clients are prompted with a certificate warning when attempting to access sites with untrusted certificates.

Found this article that proves that if there is no forward untrust cert designated, the firewall is forced to use the designated forward trust certificate. https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA14u0000004NGkCAM&lang=en_US

Since Forward Trust Certificate isn't configured, then the Forward Trust Certificate will be used also for untrusted webserver. Answer should be B. Forward-Trust-Certificate

This is not a good question. It isn't configured properly as there is no Untrusted Forward ticked. Does anyone know how to answer this?
