    so both seems OK.

    Contained user

    There are two types of users for contained databases.

    Contained database user with password

    Contained database users with passwords are authenticated by the database.

    Windows principals

    Authorized Windows users and members of authorized Windows groups can connect directly to the database and do not need logins in the master database. The database trusts the authentication by Windows.

    The answer is C obviously. The only type of users that isn’t linked to the actual SQL Server instance, but to something in the domain, is the account based on the domain user (so B and D are invalid, since they are bound to the instance).

    Certificates don’t have to do anything with it, so that would make A invalid too.

    I’d say the correct answer is A – “SQL user without login” since “[…]ensure that you can port the database to different database servers […] WITHOUT ADDITIONAL USER ACCOUNT CONFIGURATIONS”. Imho that means that it should not be necessary to migrate any LOGINS on the new target server in order to have a functional database.
