    Answer options:

    A.

    Pass-through Authentication (PTA)

    Password Hash Synchronization (PHS)

    C.

    Microsoft Entra Connect

    D.

    Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)

    E.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the sync tool and the auth method that avoids hash sync.
