Answer choices
Why each option matters

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
reencrypt
Why this is correct
Re-encrypt termination secures both legs of the journey: client-to-router and router-to-pod.
- ✗
passthrough
Why it's wrong here
Passthrough sends encrypted traffic straight to the pod without router decryption.
- ✗
edge
Why it's wrong here
Edge termination terminates TLS at the router, but uses plain HTTP between router and backend pod.
- ✗
secure-tunnel
Why it's wrong here
secure-tunnel is not a valid OpenShift Route termination type.
