Even if a developer is granted ownership of a table with a masking policy, they will not be able to modify the table to read the masked data if their role does not have the necessary permissions. Ownership of a table does not automatically confer the ability to alter masking policies, which are designed to protect sensitive data. Masking policies are applied at the schema level and require specific privileges to modify12.

* Object Tagging (C):
* Allows tagging of Snowflake objects (e.g., warehouses, databases) with business unit identifiers.
These tags can then be used for cost tracking and reporting.
* Resource Monitors (D):
* Monitor and limit the credit usage of specific virtual warehouses or resource groups, allowing you to allocate costs to business units.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. User roles: Roles manage access control, not cost tracking.
* B. Query history: Tracks query details but does not provide cost separation.
* E. Virtual warehouses: While costs are associated with warehouses, they do not provide cost separation unless paired with tagging or resource monitors.
