A company uses Terraform with the AWS provider. They have separate IAM roles for development and production. They want to use the same Terraform configuration for both environments, and they want to assume the appropriate role based on the environment. Which approach should they use?

Use environment variables to set `AWS_PROFILE` differently for each environment

Use `terraform workspace` to select the environment and configure the provider to assume the role based on the workspace name

Use a single IAM role that has permissions in both environments

Create two separate provider blocks, one for each environment
