C.
From Windows PowerShell, run the Set-DnsServerForwardercmdlet and specify the contoso.com zone as a

Explanation:

There are two ways that a secondary DNS server can be added. In both scenarios you will need to add the new
server to the Forwarders list of the primary Domain Controller.
1. The Set-DnsServerForwarder cmdlet changes forwarder settings on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
2. From the primary server, open DNS Manager, right click on the server name and select Properties. Click on
the Forwarders tab and click the Edit button in the middle of the dialogue box.

      you only need this if you use BIND version from about 20 years ago, check this:
      https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc940771.aspx

      it says “Enables the Domain Name System (DNS) server to communicate with non-Microsoft DNS servers that use an earlier, slower version of the DNS BIND service” and refer to versions below 4.9.4!

      this is old stuff from the mid-90’s:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIND#History

      so the only way to get it done is enabling zone transfer, that’s why only B can be the correct answer. without enabling zone transfer you are lost…

        “IF” you use BIND version from about 20 years ago. The question doesn’t tell you what version of BIND is used, so your assumption here is wrong. Answer should be A.
