    Eugeniusz, I agree with you. C is the correct answer. In this link “http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772069(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_22” you can see the syntax of the command “dnscmd /zoneadd”. With the parameter “/primary /file ” it is created a standard primary zone, and it is specified the name of the file that will store the zone information.
    With the parameter “/dsprimary” the zone that you creates is stored in AD.

    Here is a syntax for dnscmd.exe command found on Internet; You will use switch /file when host a zone on a server based on an existing (perhaps restore) zone file.

    dnscmd.exe /zoneadd zonename /primary /file filename /load

    As long the command is valid, I would choose C over B. What do you think?

    The question does not indicate that Server1 is a domain controller. Active Directory integrated zones cannot be stored on member servers. The correct answer would therefore be C.
