Stand-alone Root CA: A stand-alone root CA is also the topmost CA in the certificate chain. A stand-alone root CA is not however dependent on Active Directory, and can be removed from the network. This makes a stand-alone root CAs the solution for implementing a secure offline root CA. So C-Standalone Root CA is definitely the right answer.

This doesn't seem like Microsoft's typical writing style. I completely understand the question and what they're asking me, but it's sloppy writing style and doesn't seem like their typical one.

The answer is C: "There is no technical reason for a root CA to ever be connected to any network. Ever. That said, your Root CA should not be a member of a Forest. Your root CA type should be Standalone, not Enterprise. " https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/342b2de5-0496-4b0c-aeb7-83069a545712/root-ca-offline?forum=winserversecurity
