Selected Answer: A
The minimum value supported for the buffer.flush.time property is 1 (in seconds). For higher average data flow rates, we suggest that you decrease the default value for improved latency. If cost is a greater concern than latency, you could increase the buffer flush time. Be careful to flush the Kafka memory buffer before it becomes full to avoid out of memory exceptions. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-load-snowpipe-streaming-kafka

With lower buffer.count.records the buffer limits will be reached earlier, the file will be flushed and sent for ingestion through Snowpipe more frequently, thus increasing the cost
