When a tag is applied to a schema, all tables within that schema inherit it; when applied to a table, all its columns inherit it. This is the correct containment hierarchy for data…

Explanation

Snowflake tag inheritance flows downward through the object hierarchy: Schema → Table → Column. When a tag is applied to a schema, all tables within that schema inherit it; when applied to a table, all its columns inherit it. This is the correct containment hierarchy for data governance. The other options are incorrect because 'Account → User → Schema' and 'Organization → Account → Role' are not containment hierarchies that support tag propagation. 'Database → View → Column' skips the table level, which is not how Snowflake's tag inheritance works.
