Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
--tls-cipher-suites to specify permitted strong cryptographic cipher suites.
Why this is correct
Restricts negotiations to approved secure ciphers.
- ✓
--tls-min-version to enforce a minimum acceptable TLS protocol version.
Why this is correct
Ensures older, vulnerable TLS versions are rejected.
- ✗
--anonymous-auth to enable unauthenticated cluster access.
Why it's wrong here
Anonymous auth weakens security.
- ✗
--insecure-port to allow unencrypted HTTP traffic.
Why it's wrong here
Insecure ports reduce security.
- ✗
--enable-http2=false to disable secure multiplexing.
Why it's wrong here
HTTP/2 is standard and secure; disabling it is not a security hardening recommendation.
