Which of the following characteristics is associated with container orchestration?

Application message distribution is typically handled by messaging queues or event buses, which can be deployed in containers but are not a characteristic of orchestration itself.

Container orchestration tools like Kubernetes automatically schedule containers (within pods) onto worker nodes based on resource availability, constraints, and defined policies. This dynamic scheduling ensures optimal utilization of cluster resources and resilience against node failures by automatically re-scheduling workloads.

While container orchestration deploys applications, it typically deploys container images, not raw application JAR files, as JAR files are bundled inside container images.

Virtual Machine distribution is related to hypervisors or cloud provider services, not directly to container orchestration, which focuses on containerized workloads.
