Explanation

In Terraform, a local module path must begin with ./ or ../ to be recognized as a filesystem path. The path "module/consul" (without a leading ./) does not have a recognized remote source scheme (no git://, https://, or registry namespace/module/provider pattern with three segments), making it a local-style path rather than a remote module reference. Options B and C use explicit GitHub URLs (github.com and [email protected]:), and option D follows the Terraform registry format (namespace/module/provider), all of which specify remote modules.
