Exam MS-201 topic 1 question 8 discussion

Answer C is incorrect, and the link you reference does not mention this specific scenario. According to my research, answer D is correct as per this reference: If I have some users hosted in Exchange Online, and some users on-premises, can I point my MX record at Office 365 instead of my on-premises servers? If so, do I need Exchange Online Protection subscriptions for the on-premises users? You can point your MX record to Exchange Online in a hybrid deployment. In this scenario, Exchange Online Protection (EOP) provides anti-spam and anti-malware filtering on inbound mail for the on-premises users, so these on-premises users require EOP subscriptions.

Yes I think D is the right answer

There is no need to purchase P2. EOP licenses would suffice and costs less.

If you have an on-premises Exchange organization where you've purchased additional Exchange Enterprise CAL with Services licenses, EOP is part of the included services.

Not necessary to purchase P2 as only 5,000 users. And to modify MX better to use EOP.
