Selected Answer: A
I think the correct answer is A B - not correct C - the correct metric for that would be Bytes spilled to local storage D - the correct metric for that would be Bytes spilled to remote storage A - correct, we're accessing the remote disk (the Storage Layer) to retrieve the data for the query. https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Performance-impact-from-local-and-remote-disk-spilling https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Performance-impact-from-local-and-remote-disk-spilling https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Performance-impact-from-local-and-remote-disk-spilling

Correction: C wouldn't happen the way it's described in the question. In case with C, data will be written to local storage (of the warehouse)

Changing my mind to B. We can cross-reference the options against this doc: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-query-profile#statistics A - Pruning B - IO C - Spilling D- Spilling

I just ran a couple of sample queries and I change my mind back to option A. Remote disk I/O means we're accessing the data from the storage layer.

If you run a query, look for it in the Activity History, click on TableScan, you will see that most of that may be Remote Disk I/O (option A)

"local disk" is remote storage, with respect to warehouse memory. So, I feel C is correct.

C would assume writing to local disk is also "remote disk IO" which doesn't seem to be the case
