Source data is stored on different cloud storage and you need migrate into relational database, so only Azure Data Factory can do this task

The member databases can be either databases in Azure SQL Database or in instances of SQL Server. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/sql-data-sync-data-sql-server-sql-database. So it's probably not Data Sync.

Here are my thoughts: we know that A and E are obviously incorrect, and since this is a single-selection question, we've got to select the most appropriate answer from the rest choices. SQL Data Sync can only be used to sync data between a Hub Database and a Member Database, and the Hub Database must be an Azure SQL Database. Azure Database Migration Service is mainly used to migrate data from on-prem RDMS to Azure Database or from MongoDB to Azure Cosmos DB (you can still do cloud-to-cloud migrations with it but there are strict network topology requirements applied). Considering that we have various types of databases in Azure and the consolidation requirements are not clear, Azure Data Factory is the most universal solution, so the answer is C.

Azure data factory can be used to connect to multiple databases, hence the ideal solution for sourcing data on multiple cloud databases

The data is already hosted in cloud data stores, SQL data sync appeal to customers who are considering moving to the cloud and would like to put some of their application in Azure, So Azure Datafactory is appropriate here

Though we can achieve this using data sync but it isn't recommended for this scenario. As data sync is mostly used for synchronizing but not transfer related activities.
