Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall correct kubectl exec syntax
The correct syntax for interactive shell is: kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -c CONTAINER_NAME -- /bin/bash. The -it flags come before the pod name, and -- separates command from options.
Step 2: Analyze each option
kubectl exec -it frontend-pod -c web -- /bin/bash matches the correct syntax exactly. The other options have misplaced flags or arguments causing syntax errors.
Final Answer:
kubectl exec -it frontend-pod -c web -- /bin/bash -> Option A
Quick Check:
Correct flag order and -- separator = kubectl exec -it frontend-pod -c web -- /bin/bash [OK]

Quick Trick: Use -it before pod name and -- before command [OK]
