Are Kubernetes Secrets encrypted

A teammate says Kubernetes Secrets are safe to commit to Git because the values are encoded. What is wrong with this?

A.Nothing is wrong; the API server and kubectl store Secret YAML encrypted with AES-256 by default.B.Secrets can only be stored safely inside Helm charts, never in plain YAML files.C.The data is only base64 encoded, which anyone can decode, so it must not be committed.D.Secret values are hashed with SHA-256, so nobody can read them back from the file.
