In a Terraform expression, you want to assign a value of `"prod"` if a variable `env` equals `"production"`, otherwise assign `"dev"`. Which conditional expression is correct?

condition ? true_val : false_val

if condition then true_val else false_val

true_val if condition else false_val

What is the primary purpose of a splat expression in Terraform?

To filter elements of a list based on a condition

To combine multiple lists into a single list

To convert a map into a list of keys

To access an attribute of every element in a list or set

You are writing a Terraform configuration that creates a set of IAM policy documents. For each policy, you need to generate a JSON string that includes the policy name and a list of allowed actions. You want to use a string template with directives to conditionally include a 'Resource' field only when the policy applies to a specific resource. Which Terraform syntax correctly uses a string template with an if directive to conditionally include the Resource field?

"${resource != null ? "resource: ${resource}" : ""}"

"%{ for resource in resources }${resource}%{ endfor }"

"${policy_name}: ${join(", ", actions)}${resource != null ? ", resource: ${resource}" : ""}"

"%{ if resource != null }resource: ${resource}%{ endif }"
