Explanation

A Network Policy in Snowflake prevents unauthorized access from unknown or untrusted IP sources by whitelisting allowed IP addresses/ranges and optionally blacklisting specific IPs. Only traffic from permitted IPs can reach the account, directly blocking connections from unknown sources. MFA (C) adds a second authentication factor but still allows a login attempt from any source IP to proceed to the MFA step. RBAC (D) controls what an authenticated user can do, not where they connect from. End-to-end encryption (B) protects data in transit but does not restrict which network sources can initiate a connection.
