C.
PERMANENT
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

A transient table is a type of table in Snowflake that does not have a Fail-safe period and can have a Time Travel retention period of either 0 or 1 day.Transient tables are suitable for temporary or intermediate data that can be easily reproduced or replicated1.

A temporary table is a type of table in Snowflake that is automatically dropped when the session ends or the current user logs out.Temporary tables do not incur any storage costs, but they are not visible to other users or sessions2.

A permanent table is a type of table in Snowflake that has a Fail-safe period and a Time Travel retention period of up to 90 days.Permanent tables are suitable for persistent and durable data that needs to be protected from accidental or malicious deletion3.

In this case, the use case requires loading some data that can be visualized through Tableau. The data is updated every day and the old data is no longer required. Therefore, the best type of table to use in this case to optimize cost is a transient table, because it does not incur any Fail-safe costs and it can have a short Time Travel retention period of 0 or 1 day. This way, the data can be loaded and queried by Tableau, and then deleted or overwritten without incurring any unnecessary storage costs.
