Explanation

The Open Container Initiative (OCI), founded in 2015 under the Linux Foundation, exists to create open, vendor-neutral industry standards for container formats (image spec) and container runtimes (runtime spec). This ensures interoperability between different container tools and vendors. Option A describes a broader industry adoption goal, not OCI's specific charter. Option C contradicts OCI's mission - the standards are explicitly open and public, not private. Option D describes a security focus, which is a benefit of standards but not OCI's primary stated purpose.
