Explanation

Terraform uses the TF_LOG environment variable to control logging verbosity. Setting it to TRACE (the highest verbosity level) outputs detailed debug messages including which filesystem paths Terraform searches when loading providers. Option C (TF_LOG_PATH) only sets where log output is written, not the log level. Option D is incorrect because Terraform environment variables are case-sensitive - TF_log_TRACE would not be recognized. The correct usage is TF_LOG=TRACE.
