Your company has a main office and two branch offices. The main office is located in New York. The branch
offices are located in Seattle and Chicago.
The network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. An Active Directory site exists for each
office. Active Directory site links exist between the main office and the branch offices. All servers run Windows
Server 2012 R2.
The domain contains three file servers. The file servers are configured as shown in the following table.
You implement a Distributed File System (DFS) replication group named ReplGroup.
ReplGroup is used to replicate a folder on each file server. ReplGroup uses a hub and spoke topology. NYCSVR1 is configured as the hub server.
You need to ensure that replication can occur if NYC-SVR1 fails.
What should you do?
A.
Create an Active Directory site link bridge.
B.
Create an Active Directory site link.
C.
Modify the properties of Rep1Group.
D.
Create a connection in Rep1Group.
Explanation:
Unsure about this answer.
D:
A:
The Bridge all site links option in Active Directory must be enabled. (This option is available in the Active
Directory Sites and Services snap-in.) Turning off Bridge all site links can affect the ability of DFS to refer client
computers to target computers that have the least expensive connection cost. An Intersite Topology Generator
that is running Windows Server 2003 relies on the Bridge all site links option being enabled to generate the
intersite cost matrix that DFS requires for its site-costing functionality. If you turn off this option, you must
create site links between the Active Directory sites for which you want DFS to calculate accurate site costs.
Any sites that are not connected by site links will have the maximum possible cost. For more information
about site link bridging, see “Active Directory Replication Topology Technical Reference.”

answer A

Why? Question describe the situation about DFS replication, but not KCC.
I think right answer D
I agree with D, however, another less than stellar question.
What you need is an optional second hub.

To create a replication topology
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DFS Management.
In the console tree, under the Replication node, right-click the replication group to create a new topology for, and then click New Topology.
Follow the instructions in the New Topology Wizard to choose one of the following topologies:
Hub and spoke. This topology requires three or more members. For each spoke member, choose a required hub member and an optional second hub member for redundancy. This optional hub ensures that a spoke member can still replicate if one of the hub members is unavailable. If you specify two hub members, the hub members will have a full-mesh topology between them.
Full mesh. In this topology, every member replicates with all other members of the replication group. This topology works well when there are ten or fewer members in the replication group.
