C (✅Correct)– If changes require aresource replacement(e.g., changing an immutable attribute like instance type), Terraform willdestroy and recreate the resource.

E (✅Correct)– Terraform only appliesthe configuration in the current directory or workspace.

Changes invoked by terraform apply take effect once the resource provider has fulfilled the request, not after Terraform has updated the state file or immediately. The state file is only a reflection of the real resources, not a source of truth.

terraform initretrieves and caches providers and modules, butonly for explicitly declared modulesin the configuration.

If a module isadded or updated, terraform init needs to be re-run to download the new version.

Terraform does not automatically cache all remote modules unless they are explicitly referenced in the configuration.
