Explanation
In Snowflake, the LIST command (abbreviated as LS) is the correct SQL command to display files currently stored in an internal or external stage. The syntax 'LIST @stage_name' (or 'LS @stage_name') returns file names, sizes, MD5 checksums, and last-modified timestamps for all files in the specified stage. This is the appropriate way to verify what data was unloaded into a stage after a GET_DDL or COPY INTO @stage operation. SHOW (B) is a valid Snowflake command but is used for listing Snowflake objects like tables, databases, and roles-not for listing files in a stage. VIEW (C) and VERIFY (D) are not valid Snowflake SQL commands for inspecting stage contents.
