Answer-first summary for fast verification
Answer: Create a reader account.
The correct answer is B (Create a reader account) because reader accounts are specifically designed for sharing data with external users who do not have Snowflake accounts. Reader accounts provide read-only access to shared data without requiring the external user to have a full Snowflake account. Option A (Snowflake Marketplace) is for publicly sharing datasets, not for targeted sharing with specific external users. Option C (Consumer account) is not a valid Snowflake account type. Option D (Snowflake share) requires the recipient to have a Snowflake account, which contradicts the scenario where the user does not have an account. The community discussion shows 100% consensus on answer B with upvoted comments confirming this is correct.
