Why each option
In FIM 2010, workflows are the correct mechanism for calculating random passwords and triggering email notifications during user provisioning to AD DS.
Workflows in FIM 2010 support both password generation logic (via activity execution) and integration with notification activities such as email, making them the appropriate tool for calculating a random password and sending it via automatic email notification. Workflows can include custom activities that generate a password, store it as a workflow parameter, and then pass it to an email notification activity within the same workflow execution context.
Outbound synchronization rules define how attributes are mapped and flowed from the FIM Portal to connected data sources, but they do not support executing logic to generate random passwords or triggering email notifications.
This choice is identical in text to choice A and is therefore a duplicate; it does not represent a distinct or different technical approach.
This choice is identical in text to choice B; outbound synchronization rules handle attribute flow mappings and cannot execute password generation logic or send email notifications.
