HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (003) TA-003 — Question 147

The correct answer is A. Option A: Terraform automatically builds a resource graph based on resources, provisioners, special meta-parameters, and the state file, if present.

Explanation

Terraform state maps resource addresses to remote objects and stores metadata needed to calculate changes efficiently. Provisioners run imperative actions as a last resort because Terraform cannot model their behavior reliably.
