WHY NOT?
1. Install Win 2012 DC
2. Run New-ADServiceAccount
3. Install-ADServiceAccount
Then you can configure the settings for AppPool1.

Your provided link says that while it is best practice to run Install-ADServiceAccount, just so you can run Test-ADServiceAccount and see that its working, it is not necessary. What is necessary is you need a 2012 DC, so that you have a system that can actually run Install-ADServiceAccount, and then you configure the apppool to use said gMSA.

Fulis you’re wrong. Win 2012 DC is a requirement!!
I stick with the supplied answer…

The question says that schema is upgraded to 2012 r2. Now tell me pls how will you upgrade the schema to 2012 r2 without installed 2012 r2 domain controller? So you don’t need to install dc 2012 r2, it’s already exists!

It says all DC are 2008R2. But yea, a lot of tricky questions.

The answer does not seem correct. Even Microsoft Press’s MCSE 70-411: Administering Windows Server 2012 R2 says in the section “Creating and configuring group Managed Service Accounts (gMSAs)” that:

To create a gMSA, you need to use the New-ADServiceAccount cmdlet. And at a minimum, you need to specify the -Name parameter and the -DNSHostName parameters.

It goes on to say that you then need to install the gMSA by using the Install-ADServiceAccount cmdlet.

So the New-ADServiceAccount and the Install-ADServiceAccount cmdlets must be part of the answer.

Furthermore, before you can create a gMSA, you need to create the KDS root key. Note, this step is required only once per domain. But you can’t install the KDS root key without already having a Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller to distribute keys.

So, the 3rd answer has to be “modify the settings of AppPool1.”

agree with Fulis.this is from the link he provided:

When you extend your schema for Windows Server 2012, a new object class is added for gMSAs – msDSGroupManagedServiceAccount.

So win2012 doesn’t need to be installed.If you continue to read further you will see that you should first run the Add-KDSRootKey but that’s not an option.So correct answers from the above given are:
New-ADServiceAccount
Install-AdServiceAccount
modify settings of appool1
