Answer C is correct indeed, not B. Incoming (IMAP and POP) is outlook.office365.com, outgoing is smtp.office365.com. And of course port 587 for secure SMTP.

It is a LEGACY application and it sends email ONLY to employees = INTERNAL. That would point to the “D”.
I vote for the answer “D”.
Expl. – using port 25 to smtp.office365.com and without any authentication you can send emails freely to any user in your organization. All emails outside the organization will be blocked.

D does not even exist. Port 25 is not open on office.com

From reading the questions the requirements are must use SMTP and send only to employees. According to the documentation ‘Direct Send’ should be utilized which will send email only to users inside the organization and utilize port 25. Therefore I believe ‘D’ is the correct answer.

Below is the URL from which I base my conclusion:

I’m incline to think D (smtp, port 25) too. Yet when I did a “telnet smtp.office365.com 25” from my home pc (Windows 10) and I couldn’t make a connection whereas “telnet smtp|outlook.office365.com 587” connects instantly with the greeting below

220 DM5PR2201CA0066.outlook.office365.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Sun, 15 Oct 2017 05:35:09 +0000

So I vote for C

It is “C”;
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465 or 587
