Create a zone delegation that points to Server2.

Explanation:
You can divide your Domain Name System (DNS) namespace into one or more zones. You can
delegate management of part of your namespace to another location or department in your
organization by delegating the management of the corresponding zone. For more information, see

In that case you should create the conditianal forwarder for ad.contoso.com to point on Server2.

Zone delegation as ad.contoso.com is a subdomain name of contoso.com. if it was a different root level domain then a conditional forwarder would be right.

blah blah “forwards” all queries blah blah.

That’s the keyword here, “forward”. Conditional forwarder does exactly that.

“The DNS server authoritative for microsoft.com can forward queries for DNS names that end with example.microsoft.com, if example.microsoft.com is delegated to another DNS server.”

So it seems like B is right, however zone delegation works as well. I’ve done so much Google searching in the past 30 minutes and both of these answers are so similar.
