Explanation

Snowflake supports three URL types for accessing staged files: Scoped URLs, File URLs, and Pre-signed URLs. A Pre-signed URL is a temporary URL generated by Snowflake that embeds access authorization directly into the URL itself. This means anyone who has the URL can access the file for a limited time without needing to authenticate with Snowflake credentials. This makes pre-signed URLs ideal for sharing files with external users or applications that do not have a Snowflake account. Scoped URLs (D) require a valid Snowflake session token to use. File URLs (B) require the caller to have the appropriate stage privileges and an active session. 'Directory' (A) is not a Snowflake URL type.
