Explanation

kubectl is the command-line tool that communicates directly with the Kubernetes API server, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete cluster resources like pods, deployments, and services - making B correct. Options A, C, and D describe functions of separate tools: storage configuration is handled by systems like CSI drivers or cloud-native storage solutions, cloud environment setup uses tools like Terraform or cloud CLIs, and virtual network creation belongs to CNI plugins or cloud networking services - none of which are kubectl's domain. A helpful memory tip: break down the name - kubernetes control - kubectl is your control interface to Kubernetes, the one tool you use to tell the cluster what to do.
