Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Image integrity verification
Why it's wrong here
Integrity is about signatures, not runtime restrictions.
- ✗
Ensuring immutability of containers
Why it's wrong here
Immutability is about not modifying containers after deploy, but this is runtime hardening.

Prevention of container escape
Why this is correct
Dropping capabilities, read-only filesystem, and Seccomp limit escape vectors.
