- Nothing
- Terraform will error
- Terraform will destroy the virtual machine
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
This is what will happen if you run terraform apply in the working directory again, after removing the resource definition from your Terraform configuration file. Terraform will detect that there is a resource in the state file that is not present in the configuration file, and will assume that you want to delete it.
