I remember practicing a question about state locks, and I think option C might be correct since it mentions an apply failure due to a state lock.

I think the force-unlock command is used when automatic unlocking fails, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only scenario.

Ah, I see. The key is that the force-unlock command is used when there's a problem with the state lock, not just for any high-priority change. I'll make sure to read the question carefully and select the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. The force-unlock command is used when you can't acquire the state lock, either because the lock is held by another process or because the lock is stuck. It's a way to forcibly release the lock so you can make changes to the infrastructure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the force-unlock command is used to manually release a state lock, but I'm not sure exactly when that would be necessary. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the Terraform CLI. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll quickly review the Terraform documentation to make sure.

A) You have a high priority change - High priority? More like 'high stakes poker' with Terraform. Buckle up, folks!

I think it ultimately depends on the specific situation and the urgency of the change.

That's a good point, Johna. It could be necessary in that case as well.

But what if you have a high priority change? Wouldn't that also be a valid reason to use force-unlock?

B) Automatic unlocking failed - Automatic? More like 'automatic headache' if you ask me. Time to take matters into our own hands!

I agree with Nguyet. It's important to unlock the state in that situation.

I think you should use force-unlock command when apply failed due to a state lock.

D) You see a status message that you cannot acquire the lock - Ah, the classic 'unlock the unlock' situation. Gotta love the Terraform catch-22s!

C) apply failed due to a state lock - That's the most logical reason to use the force-unlock command, right? Gotta break that lock and move forward!
