Statement C is incorrect because container images do not require a private registry. Huawei Cloud container services can consume images from multiple sources, including Huawei Cloud SoftWare Repository for Container (SWR), public repositories, shared repositories, and supported third-party image repositories. Huawei Cloud CCI documentation explicitly states that containers can pull both SWR images and third-party images .

A container image is a standardized, executable package containing the files and configuration required for a containerized application. Huawei describes it as containing the application and required supporting components such as environments, libraries, configuration files, and file systems. This supports option A.

Option B is consistent with the container-image concept because images can contain a base operating-system environment or filesystem together with application dependencies and configuration required by the application.

Option D is also valid. An image acts as an immutable deployment template: once constructed, the same image can be instantiated repeatedly as containers, enabling applications to run with a consistent packaged environment rather than requiring the software stack to be manually reconfigured for every deployment.

A private registry is useful for controlling proprietary enterprise images, but it is an architectural choice—not a mandatory requirement. Therefore, C is the incorrect statement.
