Correct answer & explanation
✓
Full load with ongoing replication (change data capture)
Ongoing replication (change data capture) allows DMS to keep the target database in sync with the source, minimizing downtime. Options A, B, D are incorrect because full load only, one-time restore, or snapshot restore do not minimize downtime.
