Which command option upgrades provider plugins to the latest permissible version for your configuration?

• A. terraform init -upgrade
• B. terraform apply -upgrade
• C. terraform show
• D. terraform version

Answer: (D)

Provider version upgrades happen during initialization with the -upgrade option. Running terraform init -upgrade reinitializes the working directory and downloads the newest provider binaries that satisfy the version constraints you’ve specified in your configuration (in the required_providers blocks). This means your project will use the latest compatible provider versions without changing your code. Other commands don’t upgrade providers: apply runs with the currently installed providers, show displays state, and version shows the CLI version. If you need to raise provider versions beyond current constraints, you’d adjust the constraints in your configuration and run init -upgrade again.
