Answer: A, B, C

Explanation

Data Transfer Billing Use Cases

Snowflake currently applies data egress charges only in the following use cases:

Unloading Data from Snowflake

Using COPY INTO <location> to unload data to cloud storage in a region or cloud platform different from where your Snowflake account is hosted.

Database Replication

Replicating data to a Snowflake account in a region or cloud platform different from where your primary (origin) Snowflake account is hosted.

External Functions

AWS:

Data transfers sent from your Snowflake account are billed at the cross-cloud platform rate regardless of the cloud platform that hosts your Snowflake account or the region in which your account is located. Data sent via API Gateway Private Endpoints incurs PrivateLink charges for both ingress and egress.

Azure:

Data transfers within the same region are free, and therefore there are no charges for Snowflake to pass on to the account.
