A team has a Secret named `db-secret` with a key `password`. They mount it as a volume in a pod. The application reads the password from the file `/etc/db/password`. However, the application is failing to authenticate. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

The secret data is base64-encoded in the Secret object, but the volume mount presents it as plain text, so the application should read it correctly.

The secret key name in the volume mount does not match the key in the Secret.

The secret was created with `kubectl create secret generic`, which stores the value as a string, not base64.

The pod is mounting the secret as environment variables instead of a volume.

Which of the following is a typical use case for an annotation?

Recording the build revision or contact information for a deployment.

Setting resource requests and limits for a pod.

Defining environment variables for a container.

Selecting pods for a Service to route traffic to.

When you delete a Deployment, what happens to the Pods it manages?

The Pods are converted to standalone Pods.

The Pods continue to run indefinitely.

The Pods are rescheduled to another Deployment.
