The primary purpose of creating a stub zone is to:

Replicate all DNS records
Provide partial name server information
Allow dynamic updates
Enhance security for DNS queries

The correct answer is: Provide partial name server information

Creating a stub zone primarily serves to provide partial name server information for a specific domain. This type of zone contains only the essential records needed for a DNS server to locate the authoritative name servers for its associated domain. By maintaining a stub zone, a DNS server can improve resolution of external domains and streamline the process of forwarding queries to the appropriate authoritative servers. The stub zone does not replicate all DNS records, which would be the role of a standard or primary zone. It also does not enable dynamic updates in the way that a dynamic DNS setup would. While security is important in DNS configurations, stub zones are not specifically designed to enhance the security of DNS queries. Their main function is focused on efficient name resolution by providing just the required details to point to the authoritative servers, making option B the most accurate choice.
