Answer: Role

In Snowflake, permissions to read from a table (such as SELECT privilege) are granted to ROLES, not directly to users. Users are then assigned to roles to inherit those privileges. This follows the principle of role-based access control (RBAC) where roles serve as containers for privileges that can be assigned to multiple users. The community discussion shows 100% consensus on option B (Role), with supporting documentation links confirming that SELECT privileges are granted to roles in Snowflake.
