The correct answer is C. VARCHAR(25) .
In Snowflake, CHAR, CHARACTER, STRING, and TEXT are synonyms for VARCHAR. Snowflake stores and displays these character string data types as VARCHAR.
Corrected typo:
Option D was written as CHARACTERS). The corrected option is CHARACTER(25) .
Why C is correct:
A column created as CHARACTER(25) is treated as VARCHAR(25) in Snowflake metadata and display output.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. STRING is a synonym for VARCHAR, but Snowflake commonly displays the canonical type as VARCHAR.
B. TEXT is also a synonym for VARCHAR, but it is not the canonical display type.
D. CHARACTER is accepted when defining the column, but Snowflake displays it as VARCHAR.
Official Snowflake documentation reference:
Snowflake documentation explains that string data type synonyms such as CHAR, CHARACTER, STRING, and TEXT are equivalent to VARCHAR.
