Explanation

Resource monitors in Snowflake track credit consumption by virtual warehouses and can take two types of automated actions when a credit threshold is reached: (D) suspend the virtual warehouse to stop further credit usage, and (E) send email notifications to account administrators as an alert. Resource monitors do not have the ability to inspect individual query performance in real time, allocate additional storage, or modify the SQL of executing queries. They are purely a cost-control and alerting mechanism tied to credit thresholds.
