Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Effective pruning in Snowflake relies on the organization of data within micro-partitions. By using an ORDER BY clause with clustering keys when loading data into the reporting tables, Snowflake can better organize the data within micro-partitions. This organization allows Snowflake to skip over irrelevant micro-partitions during a query, thus improving query performance and reducing the amount of data scanned12.

I'm not sure, but I think option B) Organization --> Account --> Database --> Schema --> Stage could also be a valid hierarchy. It depends on the specific requirements of the environment.

I agree with Chanel. It makes sense to have the hierarchy structured that way for a Snowflake environment.
