A team uses a module from the public registry with `version = "~> 1.2"`. They want to update to the latest 1.x release. They run `terraform init -upgrade` and see that Terraform installs version 1.9.0. What is the most likely reason Terraform did not install a 2.x version?

The pessimistic constraint `~> 1.2` only allows versions >= 1.2.0 and < 2.0.0.

The registry only publishes versions up to 1.9.0.

The `-upgrade` flag only updates modules from Git sources, not the registry.

Terraform always installs the lowest version that satisfies the constraint.

Where does Terraform store downloaded modules by default?

In a hidden subdirectory called '.terraform'

In the system's temporary directory

In the same directory as the configuration files

A developer is working offline and needs to run `terraform plan` on a configuration that uses a module from the public registry. The module was previously downloaded on this machine. Which statement about Terraform's behavior is true?

Terraform must re-download the module from the registry every time `plan` runs.

Terraform stores the module in the state file, so no local cache is needed.

Terraform will fail because the registry is unreachable, even if the module is cached.

Terraform can use the cached copy in `.terraform/modules` and run `plan` without network access.

Which of the following is the correct source string format for a module from the public Terraform Registry?

git::https://github.com/hashicorp/example-module.git

github.com/hashicorp/example-module

registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/example-module
