When configuring VMware Horizon in FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode, the default security protocol is TLSv1.2.

FIPS is a set of standards that are mandated by the US Federal Government for protecting sensitive information. When FIPS mode is enabled, Horizon enforces compliance with FIPS 140-2 standards for encryption and hashing.

TLSv1.2 is a secure protocol for establishing an encrypted connection between a client and a server. It uses strong encryption algorithms and has improved security features compared to earlier versions of TLS and SSL. SSLv3 and SSLv1 are both outdated and insecure protocols that are no longer recommended for use.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, TLSv1.2.
