Selected Answer: C
Vault Agent stores its cache on disk rather than solely in memory. This design choice allows the cached tokens and lease information to persist across agent restarts. If the cache were only kept in memory (option D), any restart of the agent would result in losing that data, forcing a reauthentication. Storing the cache in an unencrypted file (by default) provides persistence and continuity, even though it means the data is stored in plaintext on disk unless additional measures are taken.
