Based on this diagram: The credit quota for the entire account is 5000 for the interval (month, week, etc.), as controlled by Resource Monitor 1; if this quota is reached within the interval, the actions defined for the resource monitor (Suspend, Suspend Immediate, etc. ) are enforced for all five warehouses. Warehouse 3 can consume a maximum of 1000 credits within the interval. Warehouse 4 and 5 can consume a maximum combined total of 2500 credits within the interval. Note that the actual credits consumed by Warehouses 3, 4, and 5 may be less than their quotas if the quota for the account is reached first.

D is correct ! if no other warehouse is running, the maximum limit is 5000

It's 5,000

Warehouse 2 is controlled by policy on the account level and all five warehouses usage count toward this limit. Having limit on another warehouses (in this example: 3, 4, 5) just means that warehouse 3, 4, 5 can be suspended earlier when reaching their limits. The question ask for the MAXIMUM, so the best case scenario for warehouse 2 is that other warehouses doesn't consume ANY resources and in such case warehouse 2 can burn whole 5000 limit. Eventually: answer D

D : warehouses 2 controlled by Resource Monitor 1 with credit quota for the entire account is 5000. the actual credits consumed by warehouses 2 may be less if the quota for the account is reached first.

B correct - 5000 - 1000 - 2500=1500 https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/resource-monitors
