B, but yeah, needed equals sign like my-password=53cr3t to be valid.

B/C? The key-value should go as data arguments, so B is closer but missing the equal sign. C mixes up path and value, so probably not right either.

B/D? Both A and B seem to put the whole key as part of the path, which isn’t how KV secrets work—you store key-values inside the path, not as path segments. D is clearly wrong with that weird arrow symbol. B is closest if they fixed the syntax to my-password=53cr3t after the path. So really the question is missing the equals sign, but in terms of command structure, B’s the better choice.

Option A puts the secret at secret/my-secrets/my-password, but that treats the key as a path segment, which isn’t right. The key should be data, so A seems off.

A vs B? Both use put/write, but not sure if the key goes in the path or as data after. The options seem oddly formatted too.
