Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

Snowflake utilizes clustering information to enhance query performance by pruning unnecessary micro-partitions.
Clustering Metadata: Snowflake stores clustering information for each micro-partition, which includes data range and distribution.
Pruning Micro-partitions: When a query is executed, Snowflake uses this clustering metadata to identify and eliminate micro-partitions that do not match the query criteria, thereby reducing the amount of data scanned and improving query performance.
