Suggested Answer:

Box 1: Install a self-hosted integration runtime
The Integration Runtime is a customer-managed data integration infrastructure used by Azure Data Factory to provide data integration capabilities across different network environments.

Box 2: Create a pipeline -
With ADF, existing data processing services can be composed into data pipelines that are highly available and managed in the cloud. These data pipelines can be scheduled to ingest, prepare, transform, analyze, and publish data, and ADF manages and orchestrates the complex data and processing dependencies

So that you can later save 4993.14 USD per month by replacing ADF with AZCOPY, see topic 3 question 3 ;) https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/microsoft/view/38657-exam-az-304-topic-3-question-3-discussion/

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime?tabs=data-factory "A self-hosted integration runtime can run copy activities between a cloud data store and a data store in a private network" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/introduction "With Data Factory, you can use the Copy Activity in a data pipeline to move data from both on-premises and cloud source data stores to a centralization data store in the cloud for further analysis" Answer is correct

In second box, there is an option "Provision Azure-SQL Server SSIS runtime," which is obviously wrong as we need a self-hosted (not an Azure-SQL) runtime. But still, don't we have to provision the self-hosted SSIS runtime in Azure Data Factory before we deploy it to the on-premise server?

It seems to be correct for me, as there is no "copy data tool" option in the data factory bombo box, the most approximated one is "create a pipeline" as described in the following references (the last one hits the nail for me).

1. StorageV2 Only storage type with storage tiers. The Central Europe region is no Azure region. In that geographic region, only Germany West Central has storage accounts with storage tiers. By the way, France Central is not situated in Central Europe geographically. 2.
