Answer "B" is correct. External tables are read-only. You cannot perform data manipulation language (DML) operations on them. However, you can use external tables for query and join operations. You can also create views against external tables.

B. JOIN External tables in Snowflake can participate in JOIN operations with other tables, whether they are external or internal.

Option B is the answer. Kindly read the question "Which Operation can be performed" Join is an operation in database but not alter.

Correct, so DML operations cannot be performed (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). ALTER is DDL. If you read the link you pasted carefully, you will find ALTER EXTERNAL TABLE statement. Answer is D
