What is the quickest way for the company to gather data on the migration compatibility?

A company is looking to move an on-premises IBM Db2 database running AIX on an IBM POWER7

server. Due to escalating support and maintenance costs, the company is exploring the option of moving the workload to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster.

What is the quickest way for the company to gather data on the migration compatibility?
A . Perform a logical dump from the Db2 database and restore it to an Aurora DB cluster. Identify the gaps and compatibility of the objects migrated by comparing row counts from source and target tables.
B . Run AWS DMS from the Db2 database to an Aurora DB cluster. Identify the gaps and compatibility of the objects migrated by comparing the row counts from source and target tables.
C . Run native PostgreSQL logical replication from the Db2 database to an Aurora DB cluster to evaluate the migration compatibility.
D . Run the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) from the Db2 database to an Aurora DB cluster.
