The correct answer is:

A. False

Explanation:
Terraform can automatically download community providers from the Terraform Registry and other sources when you run terraform init.

Terraform automatically fetches official HashiCorp providers as well as community-maintained providers from the Terraform Registry.
If a provider is hosted outside the Terraform Registry (e.g., on a private registry or a GitHub repository), you may need to configure a provider installation method in the Terraform CLI configuration.
