Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains six
domain controllers named DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4, DC5, and DC6. Each domain controller has the DNS
Server server role installed and hosts an Active Directory-integrated zone for contoso.com.
You plan to create a new Active Directory-integrated zone named litwareinc.com that will be used
for testing.
You need to ensure that the new zone will be available only on DC5 and DCG.
What should you do first?
A.
Change the zone replication scope.
B.
Create an Active Directory connection object.
C.
Create an Active Directory site link.
D.
Create an application directory partition.
Explanation:
You can store Domain Name System (DNS) zones in the domain or application directory partitions of
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). A partition is a data structure in AD DS that distinguishes
data for different replication purposes. When you create an application directory partition for DNS,
you can control the scope of replication for the zone that is stored in that partition.
Why not A?
“After you create a Domain Name System (DNS) application directory partition to store a zone, you must enlist the DNS server that hosts the zone in the application directory partition.”

Answer is correct imo.
A doesn’t allow you to specify which servers to transfer to, it only allows you to limit replication to all DNS servers on DC’s in the forest, all DNS servers on DCs in the domain, or all DCs in the domain.
Correct answer is . D.
Create an application directory partition.
As discussed in Understanding the Default DNS Application Directory Partitions in Active Directory, an application directory partition allows data to be stored in Active Directory and replicated only to certain domain controllers (DCs) rather than every DC in the domain. Two of these partitions (the DomainDnsZones partition and the ForestDnsZones partition) are created automatically by the DNS Server service, but it is also possible to manually create custom application directory partitions and define their replication scopes.
