According to Citrix leading practices, what is the minimum number of Delivery Controllers required to deploy Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops for 500 users?
Citrix leading practices recommend a minimum of two Delivery Controllers for high availability and redundancy, even for a relatively small deployment of up to 500 users. This ensures that if one controller fails, the other can maintain the operation of the environment without interruption. Therefore, the minimum number of Delivery Controllers required according to Citrix leading practices is two.
"Leading practice" = "best practice". so the correct answer is 2 DDCs. Even if it is only 10 users, you will still need 2 DDCs for HA.

in this answer there are no doubts guys, it is the B! 2DDCs for HA
That's why the question starts with "According to Citrix leading practices"
nb DDC = 500/5000 + 1 = 1.1 should be 2 DDC
1 would be minimum required, 2 best practice
Is there a official statement about this answer? Because a single Delivery controller can manage to 5000 users... And the question is not clear if it's about best practice or juste in terme of ressources... https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/citrix-vdi-best-practices/design/design-userlayer4.html
