   A team is importing an existing AWS DynamoDB table into Terraform. The table name is 'users-table'. They have a resource block aws_dynamodb_table.users in their configuration. They run the import command and it succeeds. However, when they run terraform plan, they see that Terraform wants to add a global secondary index that does not exist in the actual table. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe AWS provider automatically adds a default GSI.
   • BThe import command imported the wrong table.
   • CThe configuration defines a global_secondary_index that is not present in the actual table.
   • DThe DynamoDB table has a GSI that Terraform cannot read.
