Explanation

Database Migration Service (DMS) is Google's managed service purpose-built for migrating databases to Cloud SQL. It supports MySQL natively, performs continuous replication to keep the target in sync with the source, secures all data in transit using SSL/TLS, and enables a minimal-downtime cutover - users experience only a brief interruption during the final switch. BigQuery Data Transfer Service (A) moves data into BigQuery, not Cloud SQL. MySQL batch insert (B) is manual and requires downtime. Cloud Composer (D) is a workflow orchestration service, not a database migration tool.
