I practiced a question similar to this, and I think Microsoft clients can connect to Samba 4, which makes B unlikely.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Samba 4 was a big upgrade from 3, not just a minor update. So A seems wrong to me.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The service autonomy principle is all about encapsulating the service and minimizing external dependencies, so A, B, and C all seem like valid security considerations in that context.
