I'm pretty sure Option B is correct. Non-DR and non-BDR routers only form full adjacencies with the DR, not with each other.

I'm not sure, but I think the DR and BDR play important roles in OSPF networks.

Option D is definitely the correct answer. Non-DR and non-BDR routers send link state updates and acknowledgements to 224.0.0.6, which is the ALL-DROTHERS multicast address.
