it will update state file only

will update state file only

Answer: B

B. False

B. False Using the terraform state rm command does not destroy the actual resource. Instead, it removes the resource's entry from the Terraform state file. As a result, Terraform will no longer manage or track the resource. However, the resource itself will still exist in your infrastructure. If you want to destroy the resource, you should use the terraform destroy command or modify your configuration to remove the resource and run terraform apply.

Command just remove it from the state file, but didn't touch existing resources

The terraform state rm command removes a resource from the Terraform state file without destroying the actual resource in your infrastructure. This command is typically used when you want to delete a resource that was not created using Terraform, or when you want to remove a resource from the Terraform state file for some other reason, such as to re-create the resource using a different configuration.
