Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Snowflake uses columnar scanning of partitions so that an entire partition is not scanned if a query only filters by one column. The closer the ratio of scanned micro-partitions and columnar data is to the ratio of actual data selected, the more efficient is the pruning performed on the table
