Explanation

The Snowflake COPY INTO command supports column-level transformations during loading via a SELECT subquery inside the COPY statement. This enables: (C) reordering columns - you can specify columns in any order different from the source file; and (D) omitting columns - you can selectively load only certain columns from the staged file, leaving others at their default values. Option A (aggregating columns) is not supported; COPY does not perform GROUP BY or aggregate functions. Option B (joining with an existing table) is not possible within a COPY command. Option E is incorrect because COPY INTO requires an active, running virtual warehouse to process data - it is not a serverless operation.
