None of the above.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Purpose of Refresh-Only Mode: Running Terraform in refresh-only mode updates Terraform's state file with the current state of resources in your infrastructure without making changes to the resources themselves.

Context of Terraform Import: When using terraform import, you're adding existing resources to the state file, and running Terraform in refresh-only mode before this operation can ensure that any initial configuration syncs precisely with the actual state.

For more on refresh-only mode in relation to terraform import, refer to Terraform's import documentation.
