Correct answer & explanation
✓
Source controller
Flux has a source-controller that manages artifact sources (e.g., Git repositories), a kustomize-controller that applies Kustomize overlays, and a helm-controller for Helm releases. The gitops-controller is not a specific Flux component (it's a generic term), and the notification-controller is not a core component (it's a separate controller for events).
