What happens when you apply Terraform configuration? (Choose TWO correct answers)

When `terraform apply` is executed, Terraform proceeds to create, update, or destroy infrastructure resources in the target cloud provider to match the desired state defined in the configuration files.

The process of downloading and configuring provider plugins is handled by `terraform init`, which must be run before `terraform apply`.

Upon successful completion of infrastructure changes, `terraform apply` updates the Terraform state file to accurately reflect the current configuration and status of the managed resources in the real world.

Terraform does not automatically correct formatting errors during an `apply` operation; instead, it will report syntax errors and halt, with `terraform fmt` being the command for formatting.

Terraform apply performs incremental changes to bring the infrastructure to the desired state, only destroying and recreating resources when absolutely necessary due to configuration changes, rather than always starting from scratch.
