CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

During a code review you open the local terraform.tfstate file that OpenTofu generated after an initial apply and notice the header:

{
  "version": 4,
  "serial": 27,
  "lineage": "15c1d84f-e679-4e12-8cc4-7d308f1dca21",
  ...
}

A teammate asks which OpenTofu component is responsible for creating and updating the serial and lineage values so that commands such as tofu state push can detect conflicting histories and stop unsafe overwrites. Which component performs that function?

  • Provider (the plug-in that exposes AWS, Azure, or other services)

  • State (the JSON snapshot that OpenTofu maintains for the deployment)

  • OpenTofu API layer (the underlying command interface used by the CLI)

  • Resource (the individual aws_instance, kubernetes_pod, and similar blocks)
