Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • A valid DKIM public key in DNS.

    Why this is correct

    DKIM is a prerequisite for DMARC alignment.

  • A custom antispam filter for all emails.

    Why it's wrong here

    Antispam filters are separate from DMARC enforcement.

  • An LDAP server for user authentication.

    Why it's wrong here

    LDAP is for user management, not DMARC validation.

  • A valid SPF record in DNS.

    Why this is correct

    SPF is a prerequisite for DMARC alignment.

  • A DMARC TXT record in the domain's DNS.

    Why this is correct

    The DNS record defines the policy (p=reject).
