AInit containers run sequentially, one after another, before the app starts

BInit containers run after the app container starts

COnly the first init container runs; others are ignored

DAll init containers run in parallel, and the app starts when all finish

Step-by-Step Solution

Kubernetes runs init containers one by one, in the order defined, waiting for each to finish before starting the next.
Step 2: Confirm app container start timing
The app container only starts after all init containers have completed successfully.
Final Answer:
Init containers run sequentially, one after another, before the app starts -> Option A
Quick Check:
Init containers run sequentially before app [OK]

Quick Trick: Init containers run one by one before app starts [OK]
