- A Cloned tables bypass CDP entirely.
- B The cloned table will not consume any additional storage unless changes are made to it.
- C Storage costs are minimized by setting Time Travel to 0 for clones.
- D Cloned tables double the storage costs by duplicating all data from the original.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B

B. Cloned tables initially share storage with the source but create new micro-partitions for changes.
C. Time Travel settings for clones are independent and do not impact initial storage costs.
D. Cloning does not duplicate storage initially but shares it.
