Answer: It can be used by a client that does not have a Snowflake account
The primary advantage of a reader account is that it allows clients to access shared data without requiring them to have their own Snowflake account. This makes data sharing more accessible to organizations that may not use Snowflake as their primary data platform. Option A is correct based on Snowflake documentation and the unanimous community consensus (100% of answers selected A). Option B is incorrect because reader accounts are not inherently read-only - the provider controls the access permissions. Option C is incorrect because reader accounts are tied to the provider's region. Option D is incorrect as reader accounts don't provide cost savings for the provider; they are a convenience feature for data consumers.
