Explanation

Snowpipe, created with the CREATE PIPE command, is Snowflake's continuous data ingestion service. It monitors a cloud storage stage for new files and automatically loads them as soon as they arrive, incrementally making data available for querying with low latency. COPY INTO (A) is a batch loading command that must be manually triggered or scheduled. INSERT INTO (C) is a DML statement for inserting individual rows, not for streaming file-based loads. TABLE STREAM (D) tracks change data capture (CDC) on a table - it does not load external data.
