Answers
D.
A multi-cluster shared nothing architecture using a siloed data repository and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Snowflake's unique architecture is described as a multi-cluster, shared data architecture that leverages massively parallel processing (MPP). This architecture separates compute and storage resources, enabling Snowflake to scale them independently. It does not use a single cluster or rely solely on symmetric multiprocessing (SMP); rather, it uses a combination of shared-nothing architecture for compute clusters (virtual warehouses) and a centralized storage layer for data, optimizing for both performance and scalability.
