# values.yaml contains host: "{{ .Release.Name }}.example.com". What do you write in a template so the output contains the release name instead of the literal braces?

- A. {{ .Values.host | quote }}
- B. {{ include .Values.host . }}
- C. Nothing, because Helm renders values files as templates
- D. {{ tpl .Values.host . }}

**Answer:** {{ tpl .Values.host . }}

**Explanation:** Helm doesn't render values files, so .Values.host is the raw string with the braces in it. The tpl function renders a string as a template with the context you pass, usually the root '.'. include takes the name of a defined template, not template text.
