How should you configure the two DHCP servers?

Your role of Network Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the Active Directory Domain
Services (AD DS) domain named ABC.com.
The company has a main office in New York. All servers in the New York office run Windows Server 2012.
A server named NY-DHCP1 runs the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) role. NYDHCP1 is
configured with a single IPv4 scope and provides IP address configurations for all client computers in the New
York office.
The company plans to open a branch office in Atlanta. The Atlanta and New York offices will be connected by a
WAN link.
You plan to install a Windows Server 2012 server named AT-DHCP1 in the Atlanta office. ATDHCP1 will be
configured with a single IPv4 scope and provide IP address configurations for the client computers in the
Atlanta office.
You need to configure a fault tolerance solution between the two DHCP servers. You need to ensure that in the
event of a failure of either of the DHCP servers, the other server will provide IP configurations to the client
computers in the office that has the failed server. You also need to ensure that if a DHCP server fails, the
information held in the DHCP database is not lost.

I think D is correct
In hot standby mode, two servers operate in a failover relationship where an active server is responsible for leasing IP addresses and configuration information to all clients in a scope or subnet. The partner server assumes a standby role, with responsibility to issue leases to DHCP clients only if the active server becomes unavailable. Hot standby mode is ideal for scenarios where the failover partner is only intended to be used temporarily when the active server is unavailable (fault tolerance).

I think its D) too. “You also need to ensure that if a DHCP server fails, the information held in the DHCP database is not lost.”
