"If should be 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 1-4, the correct answer could be D. because reducing the cost of synchronization between DC3 and DC4, DC3 can replicate faster with DC2 which in turn can replicate faster with DC1." https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/you-need-to-reduce-the-amount-of-time-it-takes-to-replicate-active-directory-changes-between-dc1-and-dc3

Link list I was trying to post should read: Link 1: Site 2 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 2: Site 2 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 3: Site 3 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 4: Site 2 / Site 4 - 45-min - Cost 400

Question is really confusing since Site 1 is not on ANY of these site links. Link 1: Site 2 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 2: Site 2 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 2: Site 3 / Site 4 - 60-min - Cost 100 Link 2: Site 2 / Site 4 - 45-min - Cost 400 Per the shown output. Site 1 is nowhere in the output, so how does it replacate?? Is the DEFAULT-FIRST-IP-SITE-LINK still present with default values and all sites in it? That makes no sense as DC1 > DC3 replication would be 30 minutes if that were the case. (If I recall the default cost = 100 & default replication schedule = 30 min) The question as-shown doesn't have enough / correct information to solve the problem.
