The answer is C usepeerdns

man ppdd(8)
usepeerdns
Ask the peer for up to 2 DNS server addresses. The addresses
supplied by the peer (if any) are passed to the /etc/ppp/ip-up
script in the environment variables DNS1 and DNS2, and the
environment variable USEPEERDNS will be set to 1. In addi‐
tion, pppd will create an /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file containing
one or two nameserver lines with the address(es) supplied by
the peer.

Please update

joe and micha are right

If usepeerdns option is used, pppd will create the /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file with obtained DNS addresses while establishing a connection. By default, the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00_dns hook script moves this file to /etc/resolv.conf, allowing the system to use these name servers. If this is undesirable (e.g. you are using a local caching DNS), edit the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00_dns.sh as you need.
