Answer: APPLY

The APPLY privilege is specifically designed for dynamic data masking policies in Snowflake. According to Snowflake documentation and the community discussion consensus (with 100% agreement and upvoted comments), the APPLY privilege enables executing SET operations for masking policies on columns. This privilege is distinct from CREATE (which creates the policy object), SET (which is a system parameter command), and MODIFY (which alters table structure but not masking policies). The community references directly point to Snowflake's official documentation on dynamic data masking privileges, confirming that APPLY is the correct privilege for setting masking policies on table or view columns.
