The correct answer is "across compute nodes". Distributions map to Compute nodes for processing. As you pay for more compute resources, distributions are remapped to available Compute nodes.

a. distributes processing across compute nodes, Azure Synapse Analytics uses a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture, which distributes data and processing tasks across multiple compute nodes to enhance performance and scalability.
MPP systems are designed to be distributed parallel processing solutions, meaning they are not only able to scale up by adding more compute resources but can also scale out by adding more nodes to the system.
It's A.
Dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) uses a node-based architecture. Applications connect and issue T-SQL commands to a Control node. The Control node hosts the distributed query engine, which optimizes queries for parallel processing, and then passes operations to Compute nodes to do their work in parallel.
