Container Runtime Responsibility: The container runtime (like Docker or containerd) is responsible for actually running the containers and managing their standard output and standard error streams, which are typically written to files on the node's filesystem. The kubelet instructs the container runtime to start and manage containers, but the runtime itself handles the log file creation and storage.

Node Logging Agent's Role: A node logging agent (like Fluentd or Filebeat) typically runs as a DaemonSet on each node in the cluster. Its primary task is to collect these container logs from the filesystem. It needs to know where the container runtime stores these log files.

Kubelet's Involvement (Indirect): While the kubelet doesn't directly stream logs to the logging agent or manage a sidecar proxy for this purpose (as suggested in option D), it does play a role in configuring the container runtime, which in turn affects where logs are stored. However, the logging agent directly interacts with the filesystem based on the container runtime's conventions, not directly with the kubelet's own logging configuration
