Explanation
ACCOUNTADMIN (option A) is Snowflake's highest-privilege system role within an account and is required for account-level administrative tasks including account management. Note: In Snowflake's newer organizational model, ORGADMIN is specifically designed for creating new accounts within a Snowflake organization, while ACCOUNTADMIN governs all administrative operations within an existing account. On this exam, ACCOUNTADMIN is the expected answer for the broadest account management authority. SECURITYADMIN (C) manages security objects like users and roles. SYSADMIN (D) manages warehouses and database objects. ORGADMIN (B) is the organization-level role for multi-account management but is not listed as correct here.
