“A” is the wrong answer. Windows 8 will not synchronize any of your files automatically, when they are in Documents folder.
The correct answer is C- SkyDrive is the only way to sync files between Win8 computers.
I agree. I first thought A made sense (erroneously thinking that Windows would sync Documents and other libraries). Based on the above tip, I researched the topic further and must concur.
I guess it makes sense not synchronizing files automatically. Files can be large as well as numerous. It would potentially kill the Internet. LOL
I was also reluctant to believe but seems answer is really “A”
Using Microsoft account will sync the Documents folder.

C is the right answer Onedrive(Sky DRive)
I too was convinced that C was correct. However, after reading the article referenced by Fernandez, it would appear that if OneDrive is activated and allowed to sync, then yes, A would be correct. To me, there’s a lot of presumptions in this question which makes it a throw of the dice to know which, A or C, to pick.
Skydrive IS OneDrive (it was renamed following a MS Lawsuit). In this question, we cannot assume that Skydrive was already activated, thus C is the correct answer, otherwise the option to activate onedrive/skydrive would not be available as a possible answer.
