These are not all the same thing. To be very simplistic:

a) Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a data transfer tool that helps simplify transferring data from an external system to an SAP system.

b) Batch Data Communication (BDC) is a method to call an SAP standard transaction or a custom transaction that has been defined in SAP.

c) Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is an SAP-provided interface that can be called either internally or by an external trigger (if the receiving SAP system has been configured to received external triggers).

Each is a separate topic and deserves its own study. You can research them by using the Google search "LSMW". That search returns the following top entry:

Good luck in your research.
