Selected Answer: A
Why, before you can run terraform validate, you need to initialize the working directory with terraform init. This sets up the backend, downloads required providers, and ensures your configuration is ready for validation. If you skip init, validate will fail because it won’t know where to find the providers or modules referenced in your config.
