I guess it had to be terraform state mv ..... The terraform state mv command changes which resource address in your configuration is associated with a particular real-world object. Use this to preserve an object when renaming a resource, or when moving a resource into or out of a child module.

Selected Answer: A
A. terraform mv aws_security_group.htp aws_security_group.http. The terraform mv command is used to rename a resource in your Terraform state without destroying it. In this case, you have fixed a typo in the Terraform ID of a resource, so you can use the terraform mv command to update the ID in the state without destroying the resource.
