How can you delete a pod named 'nginx' in a specific namespace called mynamespace in Kubernetes?

• A. kubectl -n mynamespace delete pod/nginx
• B. kubectl -n mynamespace describe pod/nginx
• C. kubectl -n mynamespace delete pod nginx
• D. kubectl -n mynamespace remove pod/nginx

Answer: (A)

To delete a pod in a specific namespace, you use the delete action with the pod resource and the pod’s name, and you scope it to the namespace with -n. The form pod/nginx is the shorthand that combines the resource type and the name in one token, making it clear exactly which resource to remove. So kubectl -n mynamespace delete pod/nginx removes the pod named nginx in the mynamespace namespace. If you omit the namespace, kubectl would act in the current or default namespace, which could delete the wrong pod. The other options either try to describe instead of delete, use an invalid verb, or rely on a less explicit form; the shorthand pod/nginx with the namespace flag is the concise, precise way to perform the deletion.
