E. is the correct answer. It's obvious that D. is incorrect, of course cloud and non-cloud vendors can collaborate on creating providers just like anyone else

E. None of the above All of the statements are true of Terraform providers. A. Providers can be written by individuals - Any person or organization can develop and distribute a Terraform provider, allowing them to expand Terraform's capabilities to manage resources that it previously could not. B. Providers can be maintained by a community of users - Many Terraform providers are open source projects, and the development and maintenance of these providers can be collaborative efforts between multiple individuals and organizations. C. Some providers are maintained by HashiCorp - HashiCorp, the creators of Terraform, maintain a number of official providers that cover popular infrastructure providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. D. Major cloud vendors and non-cloud vendors can write, maintain, or collaborate on Terraform providers - Providers can be developed and maintained by cloud vendors, non-cloud vendors, or a combination of both, to expand Terraform's capabilities and support for different types of infrastructure.

E https://www.terraform.io/language/providers Provider Documentation Each provider has its own documentation, describing its resource types and their arguments. The Terraform Registry includes documentation for a wide range of providers developed by HashiCorp, third-party vendors, and our Terraform community. Use the "Documentation" link in a provider's header to browse its documentation. Provider documentation in the Registry is versioned; you can use the version menu in the header to change which version you're viewing. For details about writing, generating, and previewing provider documentation, see the provider publishing documentation.

It should be D. I interpret in this way. It refers to multiple vendors collaborate as single Terraform Provider. This is not true. Each vendor is a distinct provider.

D is obviously false, see i.e. https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest - This provider is collaboratively maintained by the Google Terraform Team at Google and the Terraform team at HashiCorp

E. None of the above is not a correct statement. All of the statements are true regarding Terraform providers. Providers can be written and maintained by individuals, as well as by a community of users. Some providers are maintained by HashiCorp, the creators of Terraform, but many providers are maintained by major cloud vendors and non-cloud vendors, and many of them collaborate on Terraform providers.
