I am sending an email from application using my tenant domain. SPF and DKIM were getting sign in from the application domain , however DMARC getting failed because the from address is from my tenant domain.

Please correct me if i am wrong, i can fix this if i will update application domain DKIM key in my tenant domain DNS. Now the email DKIM will show from my domain and DMAR will get pass.

What value i need to get from application to update in my tenant domain DNS , i.e. TXT OR CNAME..?

    The DKIM records themselves are TXT. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-dkim-record/ You can point to them with a CNAME from another domain, but if you hosting the actual DKIM record, its a TXT record

    You need a CNAME typically. that CNAME points to the source sender who manages the actual DKIM stamping.

    Example:
