Why each option

A data block instructs Terraform to read from a specified data source and export the result under a local name, making it referenceable in the configuration. This is a true statement about Terraform data source behavior.

AFalse

False is incorrect because the statement accurately and completely describes the purpose and mechanics of a Terraform data block.

BTrueCorrect

True. The data block syntax tells Terraform to query a given data source type and store the returned attributes under the specified local name, which can then be referenced elsewhere in the configuration using the data.<TYPE>.<NAME> pattern.
