Answer is correct: terraform plan -out=FILE

"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."

Question asks for the flag and the flag is -out
=FILE is the parameter for the flag
No idea if they'll just parse this for -out or if =FILE will be useful
terraform plan -out
│ Error: Failed to parse command-line flags
│ flag needs an argument: -out
