Option C, duh. The .terraform.lock.hc1 file is Terraform's way of keeping track of your dependencies. It's like a digital leash for your infrastructure.

Hmm, I think it's B, after the first terraform apply. But then again, I might have terraform-ed one too many times today. *laughs*

I remember learning this in the Terraform documentation. It's option C, after the first terraform init. Always trust the docs, my friends.

Definitely C. After the first terraform init. It's like Terraform's way of saying 'Here, hold this for me.'

I always make sure to run terraform init first to avoid any issues with the lock file.

Yeah, that makes sense. Terraform needs to set up everything before creating the lock file.

I'm pretty sure it's after the first terraform init, but I'm not 100% sure. Gotta love those random Terraform files, am I right?
