- A. It's automatically exposed via a LoadBalancer service
- B. You need to create an Ingress resource
- C. You can use port-forwarding with kubectl

**Answer:** You can use port-forwarding with kubectl

**Explanation:** By default, the Argo CD API server is not exposed externally. The recommended way to access it is by using kubectl port-forwarding: kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443. For production environments, you would typically set up an Ingress or use a LoadBalancer service.
