Selected Answer: C
Snowflake didn't provide explicit information about the impact of dropping the transient table, but I have found this: https://hevodata.com/learn/what-is-snowflake-transient-table/. "For instance, if a system failure occurs and a Transitory Table is dropped or lost, the data is no longer accessible by you or Snowflake after one day. As a result, it’s advisable to use Snowflake Transient Table only for data that does not require failure protection or can be recreated outside of Snowflake." Hence, after max 1 day, the data will be lost.

Selected Answer: C
Time Travel for Temporary and Transient tables is 0 or 1. Hence, even if the tables itself is no longer available for being used, it is possible to use it for 1 more day, if the Time Travel was set to 1. Hence, I vote C.
