Explanation
Resource monitors in Snowflake control credit usage for virtual warehouses and accounts. To view a resource monitor, a user needs the MONITOR privilege on it. To modify a resource monitor (e.g., change its credit quota or thresholds), the user needs the MODIFY privilege. These are the two least-privilege grants required for those respective operations. SELECT (A) is a data access privilege unrelated to resource monitors. OWNERSHIP (B) grants full control but is far more than the minimum needed. USAGE (E) is typically applied to warehouses, databases, schemas, and integrations-not resource monitors.
