Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft Entra ID connector.
The Microsoft Entra ID connector (formerly Azure AD connector) is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to ingest sign-in logs, audit logs, and provisioning logs from Microsoft Entra ID into Microsoft Sentinel. This connector uses the Microsoft Graph API to pull these logs, enabling security monitoring of user authentication and administrative activities.
