Correct answer & explanation
✓
The container has restarted 3 times.
A restart count of 3 indicates the container has crashed multiple times, which affects reliability, a key non-functional requirement. Option A is wrong because environment variables are expected for configuration. Option C is wrong because mounting a volume with read-write access is common for stateful services. Option D is wrong because using image v2 is not inherently problematic.
