DcGFzczEyMw==

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Kubernetes stores Secret data base64 encoded, so the password is encoded before storage.
Step 2: Decode the password 'pass123' to base64
The base64 encoding of 'pass123' is 'cGFzczEyMw=='.
Final Answer:
cGFzczEyMw== -> Option D
Quick Check:
Secret data output = base64 encoded string [OK]

Quick Trick: Secret data output is base64 encoded, not plain text [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Confusing key-value with encoded value
Assuming error if Secret exists
