Correct Answer:
Exam MS-100 Question 195

Azure AD Connect can be active on only one server. You can install Azure AD Connect on another server for redundancy but the additional installation would need to be in Staging mode. An Azure AD connect installation in Staging mode is configured and ready to go but it needs to be manually switched to Active to perform directory synchronization.

Azure authentication agents can be installed on as many servers as you like.

In production environments, we recommend that you have a minimum of 3 Authentication Agents running on your tenant. There is a system limit of 40 Authentication Agents per tenant. see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-pta-quick-start

I think we're overthinking this one. Only 1 agent can be installed if staging mode cannot be used. They have a requirement of NOT putting any of the Azure AD Connect servers in Staging Mode. Therefore, the answer is 1 and 1. Isn't it?

1 & 11 is correct. Only one AAD connect per server if staging not configured!

Azure authentication agents can be installed on as many servers as you like - Unlimited(there is no need to specify 11)

There's a system limit of 40, but either way this is a horrible question https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-pta-quick-start

Please may be is a good idea to include that there is a system limit of 40 Authentication Agents per tenant. Reference https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-pta-quick-start#step-4-ensure-high-availability
