If one of your modules uses a local value, you can expose that value to callers of the module by defining a Terraform output in the module's configuration.

The correct answer is A. True. Local values (locals {}) are scoped to a module and are not directly visible outside. To make them available to callers, you must define outputs in the module. Outputs act as the interface for exposing values from a child module to the root module.
