Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In a Kafka cluster, only one broker acts as the Controller at any given time. The Controller is responsible for managing cluster metadata, such as partition leadership and broker status. Even if the cluster has multiple brokers (in this case, four), only one is elected as the Controller, and others serve as regular brokers. If the current Controller fails, another broker is automatically elected to take its place.
