    I think the right answer is C) One domain and two sites
    No need for two domains, one domain will be more than enough and keeps things simple.
    Both requirements can be successfully fulfilled by creating AD Sites, putting a DC in each, creating corresponding subnets and adding them properly to the correct sites.

    except you must have missed that requirement. There are 2 offices therefore there are two domain controllers

      Precisely. For each office there must be an AD Site and assigned to that site a Domain Controller.
      Then, creating a subnet in AD Sites & Services for each office and assigning to the proper AD Site will make computers on each site use the DC in the same site.

    I see what you are saying now but how do you satisfy the below requirement? If there is only 1 domain there will be a lot of replication traffic.

    Minimize the amount of Active Directory replication traffic between the offices

    Creating two domains is overkill, redundant, and NOT the best/easiest/most efficient/best practice way to go about it.

    Eraser is correct.
    1 Domain.
    2 Sites.

    1 DC in each site. Each site has its associated subnets that clients connect to (reducing traffic between sites).
