Explanation
In Apache Flume's architecture, a Source can connect to multiple channels simultaneously, making option A correct. This is a core design feature called channel multiplexing (or fan-out), where a single Source forwards incoming events to two or more Channels - for example, sending data to both an in-memory channel for speed and a file-based channel for durability.
Option B is wrong because it contradicts how Flume is actually designed; restricting a Source to a single channel would undermine Flume's goal of flexible, fault-tolerant data pipelines.
Memory tip: Think of a Source as a garden hose splitter - one water input (the Source) can feed multiple hoses (Channels) at the same time, each flowing toward its own Sink destination.
