ATo manage and update multiple copies of an application smoothly
BTo store data persistently across pods
CTo expose an application to the internet
DTo define network policies between pods

    A Deployment manages the lifecycle of pods, ensuring the desired number of replicas run and updates happen smoothly.

  2. Step 2: Compare options

  3. Final Answer:

    To manage and update multiple copies of an application smoothly -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Deployment = Manage app replicas and updates [OK]
Quick Trick: Deployments control app copies and updates, not storage or networking [OK]
