HOTSPOT
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
You create a windows PowerShell script named Scriptl.psl that contains the following
configuration:
You need to apply the configuration to Server1. The solution must ensure that the
configuration on Server1 can be updated by modifying a MOF file on Server2.
Which actions should you perform on each server?
To answer, select the appropriate server on which to perform each action in the answer
area.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Wouldn’t the answer be Server 2 for all of these? See the following:
http://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/desired-state-configuration-hyper-v-part-3-generating-mof-files/ (You would of course do this on Server2 since it mentions in the question this is where you want to store the MOF Files)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn521621.aspx (At the bottom of the page it shows you how to run this command on a remote server so technically you could run this from Server2 to apply the MOF files to server1)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249912.aspx (You would install the Desired State Configuration Service on Server2 since it’s the one that is going to control Server1’s configuration)
If I’m wrong feel free to explain why but just want to be sure I’m not messing this up for when I take the exam.

I agree with you.
Since Server2 is going to deploy the configuration, and according to the details of the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet that you posted, i would run all 3 tasks in Server2, but not in the same order as they listed the tasks.
First i would install Powershell Desired State Configuration Service on Server 2, then i would create MOF file and then apply the configurations to Server1, from Server 2.
I hope we´re right, cause if this question comes up on the exam, i’ll probably choose Server2 on all tasks.

So after googling a little bit more about this question, i found this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2013/11/26/push-and-pull-configuration-modes.aspx, which at some point states this:
“Set up DSC on target node
Setting LCM on pull clients
In the “Configure target node for pull mode” section of this post, we saw how a configuration can be modeled to set the configuration of the Local Configuration Manager. To configure the LCM, we need to run the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager command on each of the pull clients.”
So according to this, i think the correct answer is: Server2, Server1, Server2.
