Kustomize, Easy (Beginner), Commands. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/which-command-builds-a-kustomization-with-the-standalone-kustomize-cli

- A. kustomize build <dir>
- B. kustomize render <dir>
- C. kustomize apply <dir>
- D. kustomize template <dir>

**Answer:** kustomize build <dir>

**Explanation:** 'kustomize build' prints the result to standard output, so you can pipe it to 'kubectl apply -f -' or save it to a file. The standalone CLI is often newer than the version inside kubectl.
