D is the answer. A virtual warehouse is one or more clusters of compute resources that enable executing queries, loading data, and performing other DML operations. Snowflake credits are used to pay for the processing time used by each virtual warehouse. Snowflake credits are charged based on the number of virtual warehouses you use, how long they run, and their size.

Selected Answer: D
Snowflake credits are indeed consumed based on the size of the virtual warehouse and the duration for which it is running. Billing is done on a per-second basis with a minimum of 60 seconds for each usage period.
