Explanation

A Domain Name System (DNS) Maps IP Address to Domain Names. Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using the global Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Option A is Incorrect: Azure DNS uses anycast networking via Microsoft's Global Infrastructure to answer the DNS query from the closest available DNS server. Option B is correct: Azure DNS does not currently support DNSSEC. In most cases, you can reduce the need for DNSSEC by consistently using HTTPS/TLS in your applications. Option C is Incorrect: Presently you can not buy domains in Azure DNS, you need to purchase the domains from third-party domain providers (like GoDaddy). Option D is Incorrect: Azure DNS also supports Private DNS Zones which helps in name resolution within your associated virtual networks. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-overview
