- A. 4 pods
- B. 3 pods
- C. 5 pods
- D. 7 pods

**Answer:** 4 pods

**Explanation:** Half of 7 is 3.5, and Kubernetes rounds percentage values in a PodDisruptionBudget up to the nearest integer. So 4 pods must stay available and evictions stop once only 4 healthy pods are left. maxUnavailable percentages are rounded up too.
