I remember reading about the schema registry in relation to Kafka Connect, but I can't quite recall if it was a plugin there or not.

I'm not sure about the specifics, but I feel like it could be an in-memory plugin on the Kafka Brokers. That sounds familiar.

I recall practicing a question where the schema registry was mentioned as a separate service, so I'm leaning towards option A.

I think the schema registry is a separate component, but I can't remember if it's a JVM or something else.
