Explanation

A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is a centralized repository that tracks configuration items (CIs) and, critically, the relationships and dependencies between them - such as which application tier depends on which database tier. This makes it the ideal reference for understanding inter-tier dependencies during a cloud migration. An internal knowledge base article (A) may contain relevant documentation but is informal and may be outdated. A WBS (C) is a project management tool for breaking down work, not for documenting infrastructure dependencies. A diagram of physical server locations (D) is relevant to physical topology but not logical dependencies. A SOW (E) is a contract document outlining project scope, not a live dependency reference.
