A part of which form of recon is to reconnoiter dominating terrain from which the enemy can influence the route?

The main idea is evaluating the path of movement and the terrain that could affect it. Route recon is focused on the route to be taken and the surrounding terrain that could allow the enemy to influence or interdict that movement. By reconnoitering dominating terrain—high ground, key observation points, or approaches that give the enemy control over the route—you identify where the enemy could observe, fire, or block the march and thus plan to mitigate or avoid those vulnerabilities. While other forms look at larger areas or different objectives, this form concentrates on ensuring the chosen route stays viable by understanding how terrain could give the enemy leverage over it.
