Rationale for Correct Answer: terraform graph outputs a Graphviz DOT representation of Terraform’s dependency graph, which you can pipe into Graphviz tools (e.g., dot) to visualize resource/module dependencies.

Analysis of Incorrect Options (Distractors):

B: terraform show displays state or a plan file in human-readable form (or JSON with -json), not DOT.

C: terraform refresh (deprecated as a standalone command in newer workflows) refreshes state, not graph output.

D: terraform output prints root module outputs, not dependency graphs.

Key Concept: Visualizing Terraform’s dependency graph using terraform graph.
