# Which flag makes kubectl apply a kustomization directory?

Kustomize, Easy (Beginner), Commands. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/which-flag-makes-kubectl-apply-a-kustomization-directory

- A. -k, or --kustomize
- B. -f with the directory's path
- C. --overlay
- D. --build

**Answer:** -k, or --kustomize

**Explanation:** 'kubectl apply -k <dir>' builds the directory with Kustomize and applies the result. '-f <dir>' would try to apply each file as it is, including kustomization.yaml, which isn't an object the cluster knows.
