In this section, you’ll see one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem.
Each question presents a unique solution to the problem, and you must determine whether
the solution meets the stated goals. Any of the solutions might solve the problem. It is also
possible that none of the solutions solve the problem. Once you answer a question in this
section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result. These questions will not appear in
the review screen. Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same
scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution Determine whether the
solution meets the stated goals.
Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a
member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. All domain controllers run
Windows Server 2012 R2. Contoso com has the following configuration.
You plan to deploy an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) farm on Server1 and to
configure device registration. You need to configure Active Directory to support the planned
deployment.
Solution: You raise the forest functional level to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Explanation:
Windows Server 2016 Domain controller is required for Device Registration for Servers that run
Windows Server 2016.

Correct, it requires a 2016 DC: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/overview/ad-fs-requirements
Actually, device registration itself has been supported since 2012 R2, and only requires 2012 R2 schema.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/deployment/configure-a-federation-server-with-device-registration-service
However, since the deployment is going on a new 2016 server, it will be a 2016 ADFS farm, and a 2016 ADFS farm requires a 2016 schema (but not necessarily a DC) based on the link in the above post.
Yes the provided answer is correct.
Agree.
