   A team uses a data source to fetch the latest AMI ID and passes it to an autoscaling group launch template. They notice that terraform plan sometimes shows a change to the launch template even when no configuration has changed. What is the most likely reason?

   • AThe data source returns a different AMI ID because a new AMI was published, and the launch template references the updated ID.
   • BThe provider is configured with a different region during plan than during apply.
   • CThe data source is not cached, and the plan always shows a diff because the AMI ID is compared to a stale value in the state.
   • DThe launch template resource has a lifecycle policy that forces replacement on every plan.
