Need a little explanation for DHCP Authorizing

All-
This is a practice question from my TestOut software. NOT A BRAIN **** QUESTION!!! I need help figuring this out.
Nadine is the systems administrator for a network with a single subnet. The subnet uses 192.168.1.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. The network has 10 windows 2003 servers running Active Directory. Srv-1 currently provides both DHCP and DNS services.
Nadine wants to increase the fault tolerance for her DHCP servers. She installs a new server, Srv-11, and configures it for DHCP. She configures a scope on Srv-11 to match the scope on Srv-1, then excludes half of the addresses in the scope on Srv-1 and the other half of the addresses on Srv-11
Nadine decides to test her solution and shuts down Srv-11. As a test, she forces a workstation to release it's IP address and request a new one. She finds that the workstation has a 169.254.0.15 with a mask of 255.255.0.0 for it's IP address
What should Nadine do to fix the problem?
A) Modify the DHCP options to deliver the IP address for Srv-1 to each client
Install DNS on a second server on the network
C)Delete and recreate the scope on Srv-11
D) Authorize Srv-11
E) Remove Srv-1 from the list of DHCP servers configured on each client
Answer is D. But that doesnt make sense. She shut down Srv-11, so why would it be giving out IP addresses? Srv-1 should be giving out the addresses just fine. This has to be a typo in the testing software. I think it's meant to say she shut down Srv-1. Which would make sense since Srv-11 hasn't been authorized yet and it would be the only online DHCP service to give out IP addresses.
Am I missing something here? Or am I right that this must be a typo?

Probaly a typo as the point would be checking to see if SRV-11 is working. The question had you shut down the wrong server. It happens sometimes on practice tests.No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

Ok, that makes me feel better. For a while there I was frustrated.
Taking it for the 2nd time this coming wednesday. -

I think you're correct on the typo, the other answers don't work either.
