…But it seems the original question was “_In the perimeter network_, you install a new server named Server1…”, implying Server1 has no connection to the DC from the DMZ/permimeter network, hence the need to use djoin for an Offline Domain Join…

djoin is for offline perimeter joining. If the question was asking for perimeter joining it would be C. In this wording it would be D since it does not state that it is in a perimeter network.
