If an FSMO role holder experiences a failure or is otherwise taken out of service before its roles are transferred, you must seize and transfer all roles to an appropriate and healthy DC. We recommend that you transfer FSMO roles in the following scenarios: The current role holder is operational and can be accessed on the network by the new FSMO owner. You are gracefully demoting a DC that currently owns FSMO roles that you want to assign to a specific DC in your Active Directory forest. The DC that currently owns FSMO roles is being taken offline for scheduled maintenance, and you have to assign specific FSMO roles to live DCs. You may have to transfer roles to perform operations that affect the FSMO owner. This is especially true for the PDC Emulator role. This is a less important issue for the RID master role, the Domain naming master role, and the Schema master roles. We recommend that you seize FSMO roles in the following scenarios: The current role holder is experiencing an operational error that prevents an FSMO-dependent operation from completing successfully, and you cannot transfer the role. You use the dcpromo /forceremoval command to force-demote a DC that owns an FSMO role.

The answer is B. No. This would work if DC1 was still online. In that case we would be "transferring" the role. However, as DC1 is offline, we need to "seize" the role which can only be done by using the ntdsutil command or the Move-AddirectoryServerOperationMasterRole PowerShell cmdlet with the -Force parameter.
