Dawn has created the below child module. Without changing the module, can she override the instance_type from t2.micro to t2.large form her code while calling this module? 1. resource "aws_instance"…

The correct answer is B. No. As the instance_type is hard-coded in source module, you will not be able to change its value from destination module. Instead of hard-coding you should use variable with default values.
