    That’s why A is wrong. They give the answer “Remove-WindowsFeature cmdlet” which is not valid for Windows Server 2012 as stated in the question.
    There’s a similar question that lists dcpromo as an answer which is also wrong because dcpromo was removed in 2012 as well.

    The best way in the real world would be “Uninstall-ADDSDomainController” and “Uninstall-WindowsFeature”

    Ntdsutil.exe is a command-line tool that provides management facilities for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS). You can use the ntdsutil commands to perform database maintenance of AD DS, manage and control single master operations, and remove metadata left behind by domain controllers that were removed from the network without being properly uninstalled. This tool is intended for use by experienced administrators.

    the question is how to remove a DC “manually”, not using the regular uninstall commands.

    “B”, using Ntdsutil.exe is the correct answer

    Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later service packs – Enhanced version of Ntdsutil.exe
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/216498

    The version of Ntdsutil.exe that is included with Service Pack 1 or later service packs for Windows Server 2003 has been enhanced to make the metadata cleanup process complete. The Ntdsutil.exe version that is included with SP1 or later service packs does the following when metadata cleanup is run:
    Removes the NTDSA or NTDS Setting subject.
    Removes inbound AD connection objects that existing destination DCs use to replicate from the source DC being deleted .
    Removes the computer account .
    Removes FRS member object.
    Removes FRS subscriber objects.
    Tries to seize flexible single operations master roles (also known as flexible single master operations or FSMO) held by the DC that are being removed .
