Your network contains 20 iSCSI storage appliances that will provide storage for 50 Hyper-V
hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to configure the storage for the Hyper-V hosts. The solution must minimize
administrative effort.
What should you do first?
A.
Install the iSCSI Target Server role service and configure iSCSI targets.
B.
Install the iSNS Server service feature and create a Discovery Domain.
C.
Start the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service and configure the iSCSI Initiator Properties.
D.
Install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature and configure the MPIO Properties.

Im not sure about this one. The question just states “Storage Appliances” so this could mean physical SANs, not neccessarily a Microsoft OS based ISCSI device. It also says “You need to configure the storage” not “storage appliance” so I would say C assuming the device itself is already configured which would allow you to see the storage ready to be configured for Hyper-V?
A, B or C. Arguments still ongoing.

Answer C Start the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service and configure the iSCSI Initiator Properties seems correct, the Hyper-V hosts are the initiators, the appliances are the iSCSI targets, so answer A is wrong.
Answer B is wrong too, configuring iSNS is optional, and you are asked to minimize administrative effort
A is completely wrong
iSCSI Target Server role allows server to become a cost-effective and highly-available iSCSI Storage Array. You have 20 storage appliances already
B is the next step not the first one
C is correct
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service should be running on all servers then you can ( B ) set up ISNS to discover and connect targets and initiators.
