Why each option

To configure SRV1 to resolve names for contoso.com via DC1 and all other names via root hints, you must create a secondary zone for contoso.com and ensure root hints are configured.

APhase 1: Create a secondary zoneCorrect

Creating a secondary zone for contoso.com on SRV1 allows it to receive a read-only copy of the zone from DC1, enabling it to resolve names within contoso.com directly.

BPhase 2: Configure root hintsCorrect

Configuring root hints on SRV1 ensures that for any names not resolved by its configured zones or forwarders, it can query the internet root DNS servers to find authoritative servers.
