Answer: True

The correct answer is A (True) based on Snowflake documentation and the community discussion consensus. In Snowflake terminology, 'inactive' refers to a warehouse that is running but not currently processing queries, while 'suspended' means the warehouse is completely stopped. A virtual warehouse continues to consume credits while inactive (but not suspended) because it maintains compute resources. The community discussion shows that comments supporting answer A have higher upvotes (up to 4) and reference official documentation, while comments supporting B incorrectly equate 'inactive' with 'suspended'. The official Snowflake documentation clearly distinguishes between inactive and suspended states, confirming that credits are consumed until the warehouse is suspended.
