The correct answers are B and D. IKE Phase 2 negotiates the IPsec security associations used to protect actual user data through the VPN tunnel. Juniper explains that after Phase 1 establishes a secure authenticated channel, Phase 2 negotiates SAs for the data transmitted through the IPsec tunnel. A Phase 2 proposal includes the IPsec security protocol, which is either ESP or AH, along with selected encryption and authentication algorithms. In the wording of this question, that maps to the tunnel/security protocol property.
Option D, Perfect Forward Secrecy, is also correct because Phase 2 proposals can specify a Diffie-Hellman group when PFS is desired. PFS forces a new DH key exchange for Phase 2 keys so that compromise of earlier keying material does not expose later IPsec encryption keys. Option A is wrong because routing protocols are not negotiated by IKE Phase 2; routing is handled separately over or toward the tunnel interface. Option C is wrong because aggressive mode is an IKEv1 Phase 1 exchange mode, not a Phase 2 property. Juniper specifically states that Phase 2 always uses quick mode in IKEv1. Reference topics: IKE Phase 2, IPsec SA negotiation, ESP/AH, Perfect Forward Secrecy, quick mode.
