Domain validation is important, but that's not a core function of the CA in this scenario. I'd go with options A and B as the best answers.

I agree with Gerald. The CA's primary responsibilities are to verify the identity of the certificate requestors and issue the appropriate certificates. Options A and B are the clear choices.

I think A) to provide validation of certificate requests is one role of a CA.
