A non-authoritative restore is used when your DC crashes and needs to be restored from a backup state, as opposed to an authoritative restore which is used when you need to back out the creation of an erroneous OU and need to replicate the changes through the directory.

WBAdmin is a command line utility so there’s not an MMC for it.

I’am confused. Why not “B”? There is a Windows Server Backup snap-in and there is a possibility to restore system state by this snap-in. I’ve checked this. So answer A and B are correct in my opinion
