Answers

Database storage

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The layer of Snowflake's architecture associated with virtual warehouses is the Query Processing layer. Virtual warehouses in Snowflake are dedicated compute clusters that execute SQL queries against the stored data. This layer is responsible for the entire query execution process, including parsing, optimization, and the actual computation. It operates independently of the storage layer, enabling Snowflake to scale compute and storage resources separately for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
