Answer: D

Explanation:

Snowflake credits are the unit of measure for the compute resources used in Snowflake. The number of credits consumed depends on the size of the virtual warehouse and the time it is running. Larger warehouses consume more credits per hour than smaller ones, and credits are billed for the time the warehouse is active, regardless of the actual usage within that time.
