Answer: External table

The correct answer is C (External table) because external tables can be shared directly via Secure Data Sharing without requiring additional security configurations. According to Snowflake documentation and the community discussion, while databases, tables, dynamic tables, external tables, Iceberg tables, secure views, secure materialized views, and secure UDFs can be shared, the non-secure versions of views, materialized views, and UDFs (options A, B, and D) cannot be shared unless they are explicitly defined as secure. Since the question does not specify 'secure' for these objects, only external tables (C) are inherently shareable without such qualification.
