Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SCCs replace Kubernetes NetworkPolicies entirely.
Why it's wrong here
NetworkPolicies handle networking, whereas SCCs handle security contexts; they serve entirely different purposes.
- ✓
SCCs evaluate and can mutate pod specifications during admission control.
Why this is correct
SCC admission controllers can mutate pod security contexts to ensure compliance with assigned SCC rules.
- ✗
SCCs can be created as namespaced resources using standard RoleBindings.
Why it's wrong here
SCCs are strictly cluster-scoped and cannot be namespaced.
- ✓
SCCs are cluster-scoped resources.
Why this is correct
SCCs apply cluster-wide and are not bound to individual namespaces.
- ✗
SCCs apply only to stateful workloads and daemonsets.
Why it's wrong here
SCCs apply to all pods created in the cluster regardless of workload type.
