What is a key feature of Snowflake architecture?

Why not A or E? Both sound nice, but they aren't really unique to Snowflake's architecture the way resource isolation with virtual warehouses (option C) is. The architecture question usually points you to compute/storage separation and avoiding resource contention, right?
My pick: C. If they asked about scaling, D could win, but resource contention is the edge case Snowflake's arch solves.
C. not D
C. core benefit is using virtual warehouses to avoid compute contention. That's what makes Snowflake architecture stand out imo.
Option C Eliminating resource contention is the big deal here since virtual warehouses let different workloads run without impacting each other. That's what separates Snowflake's architecture from others I think. If someone sees it differently I'd be curious to hear why!
C . Eliminating resource contention using separate virtual warehouses is *the* core feature of Snowflake's architecture. D is tempting but it's really more about manually scaling out, not the default architecture solve for contention. Let me know if you think differently but I'm pretty sure C here.
D Multi-cluster thing seems like the real standout, especially if you're thinking about big queries needing lots of compute at once.
C/D? Had something like this in a mock, both seemed valid but pretty sure the answer was C that time. Agree?
Its C, seen similar question in exam reports, Snowflake uses virtual warehouses to avoid resource contention.
It’s C, not D. Multi-cluster (D) is cool but virtual warehouses (C) kill resource contention at the core.
