A developer has a variable `cidr` with no default. They have a file `terraform.tfvars` with `cidr = "10.0.0.0/16"` and a file `override.auto.tfvars` with `cidr = "192.168.0.0/16"`. They run `terraform apply`. What value will be used?

The value from the environment variable if set

An error because no default is set

A configuration has an output that returns a connection string containing a password. The team wants to prevent the password from appearing in the terminal output but still allow the output to be used by other configurations. What should be done?

Set `sensitive = true` on the output.

Use `nonsensitive()` on the output value.

Set `description = "Connection string"` on the output.

Remove the output block entirely.

Which expression correctly uses an output value from a module named 'storage' to set a resource argument?

bucket = output.storage.bucket_name

bucket = var.storage.bucket_name

bucket = module.bucket_name.storage

bucket = module.storage.bucket_name
