Question
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. The forest contains three domains. Each domain contains 10 domain controllers.

Why each option
To create a custom Active Directory partition for a DNS zone and control its replication to specific domain controllers, `ntdsutil.exe` is the correct utility.
Windows Admin Center provides a web-based interface for managing Windows Servers, but it does not directly offer a feature to create custom Active Directory application partitions.
DNS Manager is a graphical tool for managing DNS zones and records, but it lacks the functionality to create or modify Active Directory application partitions.
Active Directory Sites and Services manages Active Directory topology and replication between sites, but it is not used for creating custom application partitions.
`ntdsutil.exe` is the command-line tool specifically designed to create custom application directory partitions within Active Directory, which can host DNS zones. This utility allows administrators to precisely define the replication scope of these partitions, ensuring the DNS zone data replicates only to specified domain controllers.
