  A. -out=FILENAME

  Explanation

  "You can use the optional-out=FILE option to save the generated plan to a file on disk, which you can later execute by passing the file to terraform apply as an extra argument. This two-step workflow is primarily intended for when running Terraform in automation. If you run terraform plan without the-out=FILE option then it will create a speculative plan, which is a description of the effect of the plan but without any intent to actually apply it." https://www.terraform.io/cli/ commands/plan
