Why each option

To change the email address used for domain verification, you must update the domain's contact information with your domain registrar.

AAdd a TXT record to the DNS zone of the domain.

Adding a TXT record is an alternative method for domain verification, but it does not change the specific email address used when an email verification method is prompted.

BFrom the domain registrar, modify the contact information of the domain.Correct

When Microsoft 365 attempts domain verification via email, it often uses contact information available in the domain's WHOIS records, which are maintained by the domain registrar. Modifying the contact information, specifically the administrative contact email, at the domain registrar will change the address to which the verification email is sent.

CFrom the Microsoft 365 admin center, change the global administrator of the Microsoft 365

Changing the global administrator in Microsoft 365 does not affect the public WHOIS contact information associated with the domain.

DModify the NS records for the domain.

Modifying NS records is for delegating DNS resolution and has no impact on the domain's administrative contact email used for verification.
