The object type level at which the APPLY MASKING POLICY, APPLY ROW ACCESS POLICY and APPLY SESSION POLICY privileges can be granted is global. These are account-level privileges that control who can apply or unset these policies on objects such as columns, tables, views, accounts, or users. These privileges are granted to the ACCOUNTADMIN role by default, and can be granted to other roles as needed. The other options are incorrect because they are not the object type level at which these privileges can be granted. Database, schema, and table are lower-level object types that do not support these privileges. References: Access Control Privileges | Snowflake Documentation, Using Dynamic Data Masking | Snowflake Documentation, Using Row Access Policies | Snowflake Documentation, Using Session Policies | Snowflake Documentation

In Snowflake, the change tracking metadata for a table is utilized by the MERGE command and the STREAM object. The MERGE command uses change tracking to determine how to apply updates and inserts efficiently based on differences between source and target tables. STREAM objects, on the other hand, specifically capture and store change data, enabling incremental processing based on changes made to a table since the last stream offset was committed.References: Snowflake Documentation on MERGE and STREAM Objects.

To ensure that an analyst_user can only access Snowflake from specific IP addresses, the following steps are required:

• Option B: This alters the network policy directly linked to analyst_user. Setting a network policy on the user level is effective and ensures that the specified network restrictions apply directly and exclusively to this user.
• Option D: Before a network policy can be set or altered, the appropriate role with permission to manage network policies must be used. SECURITYADMIN is typically the role that has privileges to create and manage network policies in Snowflake. Creating a network policy that specifies allowed IP addresses ensures that only requests coming from those IPs can access Snowflake under this policy. After creation, this policy can be linked to specific users or roles as needed.

Options A and E mention altering roles or using the wrong role (USERADMIN typically does not manage network security settings), and option C incorrectly attempts to set a network policy directly as an IP address, which is not syntactically or functionally valid.References: Snowflake's security management documentation covering network policies and role-based access controls.
