Why each option

To ensure an Opportunity Stage can only be set to 'Closed Won' if a Lead Source is present, an administrator should configure a validation rule.

AMake Lead source a dependent picklist to the Opportunity stage field.

Making Lead Source a dependent picklist to Opportunity Stage would mean the available Lead Source values change based on the selected Stage, which is the opposite of the requirement and wouldn't enforce Lead Source if Stage is 'Closed Won'.

BChange the Opportunity stage field to read only on the page layout,

Changing the Opportunity Stage field to read-only would prevent users from selecting any stage, including 'Closed Won', which does not meet the requirement of allowing 'Closed Won' only under a specific condition.

CConfigure a validation rule requiring Lead source when the stage is set to closed won.Correct

A validation rule is the correct solution because it can enforce specific data entry requirements based on conditions across multiple fields. By configuring a validation rule that triggers an error when Opportunity.StageName is 'Closed Won' AND Opportunity.LeadSource is blank, it prevents users from saving records that violate this business logic.

DModify the Opportunity stage a dependent picklist to the Lead source field.

Modifying Opportunity Stage as a dependent picklist to Lead Source would mean the available Stage values change based on Lead Source, which again is the opposite of the requirement.
