You are managing an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain and need to ensure that the Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles are properly distributed across multiple domain controllers to avoid single points of failure. Which of the following FSMO roles should NOT be held by a single domain controller to maintain high availability and redundancy?
Answer Options

Explanation
The correct answer is C. The Schema Master role should always be held by a single domain controller to ensure consistency in schema changes across the domain. Options A, B, and D can be distributed among multiple domain controllers to provide redundancy and high availability. Option A, the Domain Naming Master, can be distributed to ensure that the forest structure remains consistent. Option B, the PDC Emulator, can be distributed to ensure that time synchronization is maintained. Option D, the Infrastructure Master, can be distributed to ensure that cross-domain trust relationships are managed effectively.
