What services does Snowflake automatically provide for customers that they may have been responsible for with their on-premise system? (Choose all that apply.)
The are not on prem though as you noted and the question refers to On-Prem. I'd argue all are correct as sometimes organizations do set up their own data centers and ensure security along with other operational aspects like electricity, water etc for cooling and maintenance
This question was aslo asked in the Level Up: Snowflake Key Concepts & Architecture
What common tasks for traditional on-premises database and IT staff are not required with Snowflake?
Select all that apply.

B Maintaining statistics
C Maintaining the physical security of a server room (key cards, door locks, etc.)
D Maintaining database objects
ABC correct

So for this question you can say all the answers are correct.
BD is correct answer
There is no hardware (virtual or physical) to select, install, configure, or manage.
There is virtually no software to install, configure, or manage.
Ongoing maintenance, management, upgrades, and tuning are handled by Snowflake.
Physical security is the responsibility of the cloud vendor we have chosen. i.e. either GCP, Azure or AWS.

BD correct ans.
SNOWFLAKE is a true self-managed service, meaning:
• There is no hardware (virtual or physical) to select, install, configure, or manage.
• There is virtually no software to install, configure, or manage.
• Ongoing maintenance, management, upgrades, and tuning are handled by Snowflake.
BD - As Snowflake is SAAS based, and Hardware and Physical Security doesn't come under SAAS
Snowflake is a true self-managed service, meaning:
There is no hardware (virtual or physical) to select, install, configure, or manage.
There is virtually no software to install, configure, or manage.
Ongoing maintenance, management, upgrades, and tuning are handled by Snowflake.
When choosing cluster size, SF will handle the hardware provisioning. SaaS is provided for end users, although it is SF's responsibility to take care of hardware, software, and metadata.
B. Patching software
D. Maintaining metadata and statistics
Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform that eliminates the need for customers to manage hardware infrastructure, physical security, and related tasks. These responsibilities are handled by Snowflake's cloud infrastructure provider, and Snowflake also automatically manages the patching of software and maintenance of metadata and statistics for its customers. Option A (Installing and configuring hardware) and Option C (Physical security) are not provided by Snowflake since they are handled by the cloud infrastructure provider.
All 4
Snowflake "provide for customers" - doesn't matter if SF itself or Cloud provider. Customer has contract with Snowflake, not with the Cloud provider.
