Why each option

Control Groups (cgroups) manage individual process resource usage on a host, not role-based access control (RBAC) to clustered resources.

AYes

RBAC is a security concept that dictates what actions users or roles can perform on resources, whereas cgroups are concerned with how much of a system's physical resources a process or group of processes can consume.

BNoCorrect

No. Control Groups (cgroups) are a host-level mechanism for resource limiting and accounting for processes. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a security model for managing permissions to resources, typically at an application or cluster level, and is unrelated to cgroups.
