Explanation

In the required_providers block, provider version constraints follow standard HCL attribute syntax: an attribute name, an equals sign, and a quoted string value - for example, version = "3.1". A bare version keyword without a value (A), a colon separator like version: 3.1 (C), and a dash separator like version - 3.1 (D) are all invalid HCL syntax and will cause a parsing error when Terraform initializes.
