Explanation

You should create a distribution group. A distribution group is used for non-security related functions. Administrators use a distribution group when the only function of the group is non- security related, such as sending e-mail messages to a group of users at the same time. Distribution groups cannot be used to assign permissions. Answer: D is incorrect. A security group is used to define permissions on resources and objects. It can be listed in discretionary access control lists (DACLs). Security groups can also be used for non- security purposes. A security group has all capabilities of a distribution group. Answer: B and A are incorrect. There are no such group types as user and application in Windows Server 2016.
