Selected Answer: A

Google-recommended practices for migrating databases to Cloud SQL emphasize using the Database Migration Service (DMS) because it is a native, managed tool that supports: Minimal downtime migrations: It supports continuous data replication using change data capture (CDC). Ease of use: DMS is fully integrated with Google Cloud, making it straightforward to configure and monitor migrations. Monitoring and reliability: It provides tools for monitoring the migration progress and detecting issues. By using DMS for both one-time and ongoing replication needs, you align with Google's best practices while reducing the complexity of using multiple tools.

A. The question says to use Google native data migration tools. That eliminates B and D. C doesn't specify the data replication tool in question so it's a reasonable assumption its referring to database native replication which wouldn't be a Google native solution. That eliminates C. That leave A.
