I recall that DC4 is important for replication, but I can't remember if it's the one that affects application partitions.

I'm not sure, but I'll go with B) DC2. It's the Infrastructure Master, so it might be involved in managing application partitions.

D) DC4 seems like the correct answer to me. As the PDC Emulator, it plays a crucial role in managing domain-wide operations, including application partitions.

I think the answer is C) DC3. The root domain controller is responsible for managing application partitions, so if DC3 fails, you won't be able to create them.
