If you apply again after no changes to the configuration, Terraform will:

• A. Terminate and recreate resources
• B. Apply the changes to the state file
• C. Destroy nothing
• D. Do nothing

When you run apply with no changes in the configuration and the current state already matches, Terraform detects no planned actions. It will generate an empty plan and exit, effectively doing nothing. A brief state refresh may occur to confirm the real-world state, but no resources are created, updated, or destroyed. The other outcomes would only happen if there were differences to reconcile or drift to fix, which isn’t the case here.
