Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Zero-copy cloning is a feature in Snowflake that allows for the creation of a clone of a database, schema, or table without duplicating any data, which is cost-effective as it saves on storage costs. Transient tables are temporary and do not incur storage costs for the time they are not accessed, making them a cost-effective option for development, test, and pre-production environments that do not require the durability of permanent tables123.

* Articles discussing the cost-effectiveness and performance benefits of zero-copy cloning12.
