Selected Answer: C

For us-east-1: resource "aws_instance" "example_east" { ami = "ami-abc12345" instance_type = "t2.micro" // No provider meta-argument specified, so it uses the default (us-east-1) } For us-west-2: resource "aws_instance" "example_west" { ami = "ami-xyz67890" instance_type = "t2.micro" provider = aws.west // This directs Terraform to use the 'us-west-2' region provider configuration } With this setup, Terraform will deploy the example_east instance in the us-east-1 region and the example_west instance in the us-west-2 region.
