When do you need to explicitly execute terraform refresh?

The correct answer is D. None of the above. Wherever possible, avoid using terraform refresh explicitly and instead rely on Terraform's behavior of automatically refreshing existing objects as part of creating a normal plan.

Use the Terraform CLI (terraform plan, apply, destroy, fmt, init, validate, workspace, import, taint, providers, output)
