Selected Answer: A

The correct answer is option A because adding the SPF record to the DNS record ensures that incoming emails can be validated against the authorized servers, preventing spoofed emails from unauthorized sources. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest adding the SPF record to specific servers (email server, domain controller, and web server). While SPF records can be added to individual servers, it is more effective to add the SPF record to the DNS record of the domain, as this applies the validation across all incoming email sources.
