HPA shows unknown targets

An HPA never scales. Its status is below. The metrics-server is running. What is the most likely cause?

NAME   REFERENCE        TARGETS         MINPODS  MAXPODS  REPLICAS
api    Deployment/api   <unknown>/70%   2        10       2

Warning FailedGetResourceMetric  failed to get cpu utilization:
  missing request for cpu in container "api"

A.maxReplicas is too high; it must be at most five times minReplicas for scaling to work.B.The HPA can only scale StatefulSets, so it ignores the Deployment as a target.C.The containers have no CPU request, so utilization as a percent of request is unknown.D.The Deployment needs a LoadBalancer Service before metrics are collected.
