Explanation

Snowflake data sharing is natively supported only within the same cloud region. When the provider is on AWS eu-west-2 (London) and the consumer is on Azure West Europe, a direct share cannot be consumed because they are on different cloud platforms in different regions. The correct architectural approach (Choice A) is: (1) Create a share in the provider's AWS eu-west-2 account, (2) Replicate (promote) the relevant database to a secondary account in Azure West Europe using database replication, and (3) Create or extend the share from the Azure West Europe account so the consumer can access it natively within their own cloud/region. Choice D describes promoting a database to primary, which is a replication concept but not the first step in a sharing workflow. Choices B and C introduce unnecessary role or object constructs that do not address the cross-cloud sharing requirement. The key principle is: replicate first to co-locate data with the consumer's cloud/region, then share.
