    To upgrade schema, we need to run 2012 version of adprep. Windows Server 2012 version of adprep.exe can only run on servers that run a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 or later. So I go with DC3, option B.

    Considerations for using Adprep.exe in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bce74f86-fbbf-405c-8d83-395f17a6ac8a#BKMK_WS2012

    Also beginning with Windows Server 2012, there is only one 64-bit version of Adprep.exe. It can be run remotely from any server that runs a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 or later. The computer where you run it can be either domain-joined or in a workgroup. It includes new syntax and parameter options in order to run it remotely.
