Answer is B (MX)
May seem weird since that would mess up your mail. The smart answer would be TXT. But since that’s not a choice, the answer is MX. TXT and MX are the only ways to verify a Azure AD custom domain. I just checked myself.

Question states the requirement to “verify from Azure whether you own the contoso.com domain”

This can only be done using TXT or MX as mentioned; learn this.

If requirement was to forward requests from contoso.com to Azure, it would be A (CNAME).
