A.
A database snapshot

B.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

C.
Change data capture

D.
A data-tier application

Explanation:

* SIS supports connections to SQL Database by using the ADO.NET provider. OLEDB is not
supported at this time. You can build the SSIS package connecting to SQL Database and
create the data flow tasks the same way as you would against a typical on-premise SQL
Server.

    I think B. SSIS is correct because : SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) can be used effectively as a tool for moving data to and from Windows Azure SQL Database, as part of the total extract, transform, and load (ETL) solution and as part of the data movement solution. SSIS can be used effectively to move data between sources and destinations in the cloud, and in a hybrid scenario between the cloud and on-premise. This paper outlines best practices for using SSIS for cloud sources and destinations and for project planning for SSIS projects to be used with Azure or hybrid data moves, and gives an example of maximizing performance on a hybrid move by scaling out the data movement.

    ‘The package must support being deployed to Windows Azure SQL Database.’

    SSIS is able to adress SQL Azure as a source or destination; but you must DEPLOY the package to the Azure SQL Database; in my oppinion, there is a whole instance on a “regular” windows azure machine in the cloud”. There, the SSIS option exists.

    So, answer B. is correct i think

      While one could use Data-Tier Application in SSMS to achieve the above, it requires more configuration and customization steps than using SSIS.

      Option B (SSIS) provides in-built capabilities for achieving the above-scenario by using readily-available data-flow and control flow components of the DTS tools in SSIS, and is very compatible with Azure.
