The answer E is correct. It's not asking how to migrate but what tool to use for setting up a transactional replication. "Replication can be configured by using SQL Server Management Studio". https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/replication-to-sql-database

This is the correct answer as it needs configuration on the SSMS side to perform the replication Reference: https://www.sqlshack.com/sql-server-database-migration-to-azure-sql-database-using-sql-server-transactional-replication/

Selected Answer: D
D. SQL Server Agent for SQL Server 2017 or later Explanation: SQL Server Agent: SQL Server Agent is a component of SQL Server that enables the scheduling and automation of administrative tasks, including replication. You can use SQL Server Agent to set up and manage replication subscriptions. Azure SQL Database supports various types of replication, such as transactional replication or snapshot replication, depending on your synchronization requirements. SQL Server Agent is commonly used for managing replication in SQL Server environments.

The given answer "E: SQL Server Management Studio 17.9.1 or later" is correct based on the remarks from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/replication-to-sql-database. 1. Replication can be configured by using SQL Server Management Studio or by executing Transact-SQL statements on the publisher. You cannot configure replication by using the Azure portal. 2. Replication can only use SQL Server authentication logins to connect to Azure SQL Database.

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) allows Visual Studio to create a SQL Server database project. It is nothing to do with migration/replication. It's a development tool.
