Answer: The data provider must replicate the database to a secondary account in AWS Asia Pacific within the same organization then create a share to the data consumer's account
The correct answer is D because Snowflake requires data replication when sharing across different cloud platforms and regions. According to Snowflake documentation and the community consensus (with 100% agreement and 13 upvotes on the confirming comment), secure data sharing across different cloud platforms and regions requires replicating the database to a secondary account in the target region/platform, then creating a share from there. Option A is incorrect because direct sharing cannot cross different cloud platforms. Option B is incorrect because Data Exchange doesn't enable cross-platform sharing directly. Option C is incorrect because the GET DATA workflow in Data Marketplace is for consuming data, not for creating cross-platform shares.
