D is definitely wrong. The DNS server doesn't act as an MTA, it just provides the MX record information.

I'm not sure about option D. Can someone explain why the DNS server would act as an intermediary MTA?

I think C is also correct. The user's email client needs to perform the DNS MX lookup to find the destination mail server.

A and B are the correct options. The MX record lookup is necessary to find the mail server, and the recipient will retrieve the email using POP3 or IMAP.

I agree with you, Katy. I also believe that option C is correct because User A's MUA needs to perform a DNS MX record lookup.

I think option A is correct because the email will be forwarded to the MX record with the lowest preference.
