Point of order:
No "resolvers" are "authoritative". "Resolvers" (or, more fully, "Customer
resolver servers") are servers operated (generally) by "eyeball carriers"
for their end-users to utilize to do DNS lookups, so that the end users
are not required to operate a resolver themselves -- which most enduser
operating systems have not, historically done. Resolvers do the recursing
for you, and return a non-authoritative response.
Putting this at the ISP level leverages caching (though sometimes
pathologically).
Many edge routers perform this task, though not all.
"Authoritative" is a term used to describe a "Zone" server; one which has
a current local or slaved copy of the actual source data for a zone.
Queries directly to a zone server will have the authoritative bit set.
