Explanation

Row Access Policies - Snowflake's mechanism for row level security - are a feature introduced at the Enterprise edition, making B the minimum required tier.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (Standard) is the base tier and lacks advanced governance features like row access policies entirely.
C (Business Critical) and D (Virtual Private Snowflake) do support row level security, but they are higher than the minimum - the question asks for the floor, not the ceiling.

Memory tip: Think of "Enterprise" as the entry point for data governance features in Snowflake. Both row-level security (Row Access Policies) and column-level security (Dynamic Data Masking) unlock at Enterprise - if an exam question asks about either, Enterprise is almost always the answer.
