Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Once a result cache is generated for a query stays valid for 24 hours. If another query that reuses the query result cache is executed within that 24-hour window, the result cache expiry is extended for another 24 hours from that point onwards. If the result cache for a query keeps getting used, it will stay valid for up to 31 days. After 31 days, the result cache for a query will be purged regardless of any other condition. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/querying-persisted-results
