Selected Answer: D
The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) in Kubernetes automatically adjusts the number of Pods in a Deployment, ReplicaSet, or StatefulSet based on observed metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, or custom metrics. The HPA ensures that the number of running Pods matches the current demand, scaling up when the load is high and scaling down when the load is low.
