Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce: restricted
Why this is correct
This label enforces the restricted Pod Security Standard, blocking non-compliant pods.
- ✗
pod-security.openshift.io/standard: restricted
Why it's wrong here
The correct label prefix is pod-security.kubernetes.io, not pod-security.openshift.io.
- ✗
security.openshift.io/scc.enforce: restricted
Why it's wrong here
This is not a valid OpenShift namespace label for Pod Security Standards.
- ✗
openshift.io/cluster-monitoring: "true"
Why it's wrong here
This label enables cluster monitoring for the namespace, not Pod Security Standards.
