The provided answer is correct, it should be AdjustToUniversal because we want to define this time as UTC regardless if local timezone was provided. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12787368/c-sharp-datetime-parse-issue

In the question, it is mentioned that "If a time zone is not specified, then it should be interpreted as Coordinated Universal Time", and AssumeUniversal should be used for "If no time zone is specified in the parsed string, the string is assumed to denote a UTC. " check the link mentioned by @gclopes
