AKafka 2.8.0+ supports KRaft mode (no Zookeeper)
BKafka 1.0.0 supports embedded Zookeeper
CKafka 0.10 requires external Zookeeper only
DKafka 3.0 requires manual Zookeeper installation
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Identify Kafka versions supporting no Zookeeper

    Kafka 2.8.0 and later support KRaft mode, which removes the need for Zookeeper.

  2. Step 2: Differentiate older versions

    Older versions require external Zookeeper; embedded or manual installation is not standard.

  3. Final Answer:

    Kafka 2.8.0+ supports KRaft mode (no Zookeeper) -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    KRaft mode = Kafka without Zookeeper [OK]
Quick Trick: Use Kafka 2.8+ KRaft mode to skip Zookeeper [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming all Kafka versions need Zookeeper
  • Confusing embedded Zookeeper with KRaft
  • Thinking Kafka 3.0 requires manual Zookeeper
