Answer: External table

The question asks which object types can be shared using secure data sharing in Snowflake. According to Snowflake documentation and the community discussion consensus (with D receiving 85% of votes and the highest upvoted comment), the correct answer is D (External table). Secure data sharing in Snowflake supports sharing tables, external tables, secure views, secure materialized views, and secure UDFs. Among the given options: A (Masking policy) cannot be shared as it's a data governance feature applied locally; B (Stored procedure) is not directly shareable through secure data sharing; C (Task) is a scheduling object and cannot be shared; only D (External table) is explicitly listed as a shareable object type in Snowflake's secure data sharing capabilities.
