    It is a LEGACY application and it sends email ONLY to employees = INTERNAL. That would point to the “D”.
    I vote for the answer “D”.
    Expl. – using port 25 to smtp.office365.com and without any authentication you can send emails freely to any user in your organization. All emails outside the organization will be blocked.

    Not that Microsoft links are always correct as they never seem to update everything with all the changes they make but indeed port 587 is the recommended port. Being a legacy application it might want to use port 15? it does not specify.

    According to this link you can use port 25 though.

    Answer D

    Legacy = No TLS 1.0+ support. Many old applications and multi-function devices (even some not so old printer/scanners) don’t allow you to specify a port or support TLS encryption.

    Microsoft supports this via Direct Send, which only allows port 25 and TLS is optional. For internal use only as specified see Option 2:

    From reading the questions the requirements are must use SMTP and send only to employees. According to the documentation ‘Direct Send’ should be utilized which will send email only to users inside the organization and utilize port 25. Therefore I believe ‘D’ is the correct answer.

    Below is the URL from which I base my conclusion:

    I’m incline to think D (smtp, port 25) too. Yet when I did a “telnet smtp.office365.com 25” from my home pc (Windows 10) and I couldn’t make a connection whereas “telnet smtp|outlook.office365.com 587” connects instantly with the greeting below

    220 DM5PR2201CA0066.outlook.office365.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Sun, 15 Oct 2017 05:35:09 +0000

    So I vote for C
