Explanation

Snowflake's Data Cloud enables secure data sharing through a zero-copy, live-share model: the data provider grants access to their data objects, and consumers query the live data directly from the provider's storage - no ETL, no data duplication, no movement. This is the fundamental architectural differentiator. Option B is false - data copies are explicitly not created; that's the point. Option C is false - Snowflake's sharing model eliminates traditional ETL requirements. Option D is false - Snowflake supports cross-region and cross-cloud data sharing via replication and the Data Marketplace. Option E is false - data is not shared as static files; it remains live and queryable in place.
