Explanation

Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler is specifically designed for data ingestion, exploration, and preparation inside SageMaker AI. It includes built-in native connectors for Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, and Snowflake (among dozens of other sources), allowing an ML engineer to query, preview, and import data from all three sources directly into a SageMaker environment without writing custom ETL code. Option A (AWS Glue DataBrew) is a standalone data preparation service and does not natively integrate all three sources into SageMaker in one workflow. Option B (SageMaker Pipelines + AWS DataSync) is incorrect because DataSync is a file-transfer service for migrating data to AWS storage, not a query engine for Athena or Snowflake. Option C (SageMaker Feature Store + Apache Spark) is an engineering-heavy approach that requires a custom Spark connector setup and is far more complex than necessary for simply loading historical data.
