Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Vault provider allows Terraform to read from, write to, and configure Hashicorp Vault.
Interacting with Vault from Terraform causes any secrets that you read and write to be persisted in both Terraform’s state file and in any generated plan files. For any Terraform module that reads or writes Vault secrets, these files should be treated as sensitive and protected accordingly.
