Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
Running background jobs on a schedule is managed by CronJobs, which is a high-level abstraction and not directly related to the API Server.
B.
The API Server is the front end of the Kubernetes control plane and exposes the Kubernetes API. It is responsible for handling CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for the cluster.
C.
Enforcing network policies between Pods is typically handled by a Network Plugin, not the API Server.
D.
Maintaining the desired state of the cluster is the role of controllers, managed by the kube-controller-manager.
