Selected Answer: C
C since temporary tables are only available for the duration of a session, and they are not stored in Snowflake's permanent storage. This means that they do not incur any storage costs.

Selected Answer: D
When working with ETL processes, you need to use distributed paradigms very often, so can't use Temporary tables. Transient tables are specifically design for ETL processes. Additionaly, ETL processes can take a lot of time, so Temporary tables, which only lives during the session, are impractible.

Selected Answer: D
Temporary tables exist only for the duration of the session and do not incur long-term storage costs. However, they are not accessible across sessions, which can limit their use in complex ETL workflows. Transient tables strike the right balance between cost-effectiveness and functionality for ETL processes.
