Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The contoso.com domain
only contains domain controllers that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
The forest contains a child domain named child.contoso.com. The child.contoso.com domain only
contains domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008 R2. The child.contoso.com domain
contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You have access to four administrative user accounts in the forest. The administrative user accounts
are configured as shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that you can add a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 to the
child.contoso.com domain.
Which account should you use to run adprep.exe?
A.
Admin1
B.
Admin2
C.
Admin3
D.
Admin4
Explanation:
Adprep.exe performs operations that must be completed on the domain controllers that run in an
existing Active Directory environment before you can add a domain controller that runs that version
of Windows Server.
Preparing to run adprep /domainprep (see step 2 below).
To help ensure that the adprep /domainprep command runs successfully, complete these steps
before you run the command on the infrastructure operations master role holder in each domain:
Make sure that the schema updates that adprep /forestprep performs replicated throughout the
forest or that they at least replicated to the infrastructure master for the domain where you plan to
run adprep /domainprep.
Make sure that you can log on to the infrastructure master with an account that is a member of the
Domain Admins group.
Verify that the domain functional level is appropriate.Running Adprep.exe

Because we dont know what functional level has domain contoso.com, we dont know what schema version it has.
Additionally read this:”In previous versions of Windows, you would use the adprep.exe tool to upgrade the schema.
However, while the Windows Server 2012 includes adprep32.exe has been deprecated.
Instead, the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard that is included in Server Manager incorporates the commands necessary to upgrade the AD DS forest schema.” – taken from MS Official Academic Course Exam 70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services, page 304. Look at these words: “…to upgrade the AD DS forest schema”.
SImilar statement is in oryginal explanation. From that I think that right answer is A. Child domain admin is not allowed to mess witch schema in root forest domain, so the C is wrong. B is wrong either, because root domain schema admin is not gdanted domain admin rights in child domains.

Rethinked – given answer is correct. It is because root domains already has Win 2012 R2 DCs, so the forest shema must be ready. Not neeed to upgrade it.

Agree with C. Forest Schema is already updated, and domain prep only requires a domain admin in the target domain. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018(v=ws.10).aspx

The key to this question is that root domain already has 2012 DC’s, so there is no need to run adprep /forestprep which requires enterprise admins or root domain admins membership. You only have to prepare child domain.
