A developer is upgrading the Google Cloud provider in their Terraform configuration. The current constraint is `version = "~> 4.0"`. They want to upgrade to the latest v5.x release, which is now available. They have already updated the constraint to `version = "~> 5.0"` in the `required_providers` block. What additional step is required to complete the upgrade?

Delete the `.terraform.lock.hcl` file and run `terraform apply`.

Run `terraform plan` to automatically download the new provider version.

Run `terraform init -upgrade` to download the new provider version.

Run `terraform get` to fetch the new provider version.

A company uses Terraform to manage Kubernetes clusters in two different environments: staging and production. Both environments use the same cloud provider but different credentials. They want to use a single Terraform configuration to manage both. How should they configure the providers?

Define two provider blocks with different `alias` values, each with its own credentials.

Define one provider block and use the `provider` meta-argument on resources to switch credentials.

Create two separate Terraform configurations, one for each environment.

Use environment variables to switch credentials between runs.
