Answer: B,C

Explanation:

The .gitignore file should be configured to ignore Terraform files that either contain sensitive data or aren’t required to save.

The terraform.tfstate file contains the terraform state of a specific environment and doesn’t need to be preserved in a repo. The terraform.tfvars file may contain sensitive data, such as passwords or IP addresses of an environment that you may not want to share with others.
