   Your team uses a single HCP Terraform workspace to manage the production infrastructure for three different applications. Each application's configuration lives in a separate subdirectory of the same Git repository. The workspace currently runs plans and applies from the repository root, which causes all three applications' resources to be included in every run. You need to isolate the state and runs for each application without creating separate repositories. What should you do?

   • ACreate three new workspaces and set each workspace's working directory to the corresponding application subdirectory.
   • BConfigure the existing workspace's working directory to point to one application and use run triggers to apply the others.
   • CUse Terraform CLI workspaces (terraform workspace new) within the single HCP Terraform workspace to separate state per application.
   • DAdd a resource block with a count that conditionally includes only the relevant application's resources based on a variable.
