Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Contoso.com has the following configuration:
You plan to deploy an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) farm on Server1 and to configure device registration.
You need to configure Active Directory to support the planned deployment.
Solution: You run adprep.exe from the Windows Server 2016 installation media.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Explanation:
New installations of AD FS 2016 require the Active Directory 2016 schema (minimum version 85). You can upgrade the schema by running adprep.exe.
The answer is wrong. The wright answer is NO, because running adprep does not raise the forest functional level or upgrades a domain controller to 2016, which are requirements.

Answer is correct.
2016 ADFS requires schema to be raised to version 85 (server 2016) not the forest/domain level.
ADFS Farm requires the Farm Behavior Level (FBL) to be raised to 2016 to add Server 2016 to it.
Domain/Forest level =/= Farm Behavior Level

UPDATE: Server 2016 can be added and the FBL operates in mixed mode. To raise the FBL to 2016, all servers must be Server 2016.

The Device registration feature requires a minimum forest level of 2012R2, so the answer is not correct, you need to update both the schema and the forest level.
