Answer: Individual rows

The VARIANT data type in Snowflake has a 16 MB size limit that applies to individual rows, not to the entire table or columns. This is clearly stated in Snowflake's official documentation on semi-structured data considerations and is confirmed by the community discussion where option C received 100% consensus with upvoted comments referencing the official documentation. Option A (All rows) is incorrect because the limit applies per row, not collectively across all rows. Option B (All columns) is incorrect as the limit is specific to VARIANT columns, not all columns. Option D (Individual columns) is misleading - while VARIANT is a column type, the 16 MB limit applies to the data within each row's VARIANT column, not to the column definition itself.
