The Incident Status shows " Auto Cleared " , and the Cleared Reason states: " Rule has not been triggered for 20 minutes. " This indicates that the incident was automatically cleared by the rule logic after a defined period of inactivity.

The correct answer is C because the exhibit shows the incident status as Auto Cleared and the cleared reason indicates that the rule condition was no longer being triggered. The Study Guide explains that FortiSIEM supports clear conditions and auto-clearing behavior at the rule level. It states that if a time-based clear condition is configured, FortiSIEM can auto-clear the incident after the last occurrence if the trigger condition no longer exists. It also explains pattern-based clear behavior: FortiSIEM evaluates clear-condition subpatterns and compares attributes from the clear condition with the original incident attributes. If the configured attributes match, the incident status is set to auto cleared. In the exhibit, the cleared reason says the rule has not been triggered for a defined number of minutes. That is not a manual action by the analyst and not an endpoint-generated all-clear signal. It is FortiSIEM’s rule-based clearing logic. Option B is also wrong because the exhibit shows a specific rule inactivity period, not a generic 24-hour timeout.
