Explanation

Destination Service (B) is purpose-built for storing and retrieving technical connection details about external systems - things like URLs, authentication credentials, proxy settings, and protocol configurations. It acts as a centralized registry that SAP BTP applications query at runtime to connect to target systems without hardcoding connection data.

Connectivity Service (A) is a distractor because it handles the network tunnel between BTP and on-premise systems (via the Cloud Connector), not the storage of connection metadata. It works alongside the Destination Service but serves a different role.

Core Data Service (C) is wrong in this context - CDS is a modeling language/framework used in SAP CAP and ABAP for defining data schemas and queries, not for storing system configuration or connectivity information.

Memory tip: Think "Destination = destination address card" - just like a contact card stores how to reach someone, the Destination Service stores how to reach an external system.
