Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
kube-dns service endpoint mapping
Why this is correct
The kube-dns service routes DNS queries to CoreDNS pods.
- ✗
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler configuration
Why it's wrong here
HPA controls replica count scaling, not DNS resolution.
- ✗
Persistent Volume Claim binding state
Why it's wrong here
PVC binding relates to storage, not DNS name resolution.
- ✗
Ingress controller SSL certificate expiration
Why it's wrong here
SSL certificates affect TLS handshakes, not raw DNS lookups.
- ✓
CoreDNS deployment and pod health in the kube-system namespace
Why this is correct
CoreDNS provides internal cluster DNS resolution for all pods.
