Explanation

The correct answer is A. Database Migration Service (DMS) is Google's native, fully managed migration tool that supports PostgreSQL migrations from both on-premises and AWS sources (including Amazon RDS) to Cloud SQL. The question explicitly requires Google-recommended practices and Google-native tools, which aligns directly with DMS. DMS supports continuous data replication (CDC) for minimal-downtime migrations and provides monitoring and cutover capabilities. Option B unnecessarily mixes third-party tools when DMS already handles all the stated sources. Option C describes capabilities that DMS already provides natively. Option D again introduces partner tools without justification when DMS covers all requirements.
