Explanation

Container orchestration tools like Kubernetes exist to automate the deployment, scaling, networking, and lifecycle management of large numbers of containers. Without orchestration, manually managing hundreds or thousands of containers across multiple hosts is impractical. Option B (security assessment) is handled by separate security scanning tools, not orchestrators. Option C (monolith-to-microservices transformation) is an architectural/development concern, not an operations tool purpose. Option D is a non-technical justification and not a valid reason.
