SnowPro Core Certification — Question 987

A user wants to access files stored in a stage without authenticating into Snowflake.

Which type of URL should be used?

Answer options

• A. File URL
• B. Staged URL
• C. Scoped URL
• D. Pre-signed URL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Pre-signed URL is the correct choice because it grants temporary access to files stored in a stage without requiring authentication. The other options, such as File URL, Staged URL, and Scoped URL, do not provide this feature and typically require user authentication to access the files.
