Answer: B

Explanation:

It is not possible to unload structured data directly to semi-structured formats such as JSON and Parquet using Snowflake’s native functionality. Snowflake’s COPY INTO statement, which is used for unloading data, currently supports exporting data to CSV, TSV, and other delimited text formats, as well as to Avro format (a row-based binary format).

If you need to unload structured data to JSON or Parquet, you may need to use third-party tools or custom code to transform the exported data into the desired format after unloading it from Snowflake. Alternatively, you can consider using cloud-native ETL services that support such transformations, like AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or Google Cloud Dataflow.
