Explanation

Configuring Social Media identity providers is done in the administration console for SAP Cloud Identity Services (option C) because this console is the dedicated management interface for authentication, identity federation, and external identity provider (IdP) configuration - including social logins like Google or LinkedIn. SAP Cloud Identity Services (specifically Identity Authentication Service) is where all trust configurations between your application and external IdPs are managed.

Option A is wrong because the SAP Business Application Studio code editor is a development IDE for writing application code - it has no role in runtime identity/authentication configuration.

Option B is wrong because the BTP Cockpit Account Explorer is used for managing subaccounts, directories, and entitlements at the platform level, not for configuring specific identity providers within the Identity Authentication Service.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - identity problems are solved in identity tools. SAP Cloud Identity Services is the dedicated home for anything authentication-related (social logins, SAML, OIDC). When in doubt, if the question involves WHO can log in and HOW, the answer points to the Identity Services admin console, not the BTP Cockpit or a code editor.
