Explanation

Snowflake's three-layer architecture consists of Storage, Query Processing (virtual warehouses), and Cloud Services. The Cloud Services layer handles global coordination and platform management tasks including: user authentication (D) - login, MFA, SSO; and infrastructure management (E) - managing metadata, transactions, access control, and optimizer. Data storage belongs to the Storage layer; partition scanning and dynamic data masking execution happen in the Query Processing layer.
