For the ALLOWED VALUES tag property, what is the MAXIMUM number of possible string values for a single tag?

The ALLOWEDVALUES property for a Snowflake tag is an optional parameter that restricts the set of possible string values that can be assigned to the tag when it is applied to an object. This feature is crucial for enforcing data governance and ensuring consistent classification. According to the official Snowflake documentation for the CREATE TAG and ALTER TAG commands, a tag administrator can specify a maximum of 50 distinct string values for a single tag. This limit ensures that the list of potential values remains manageable and purposeful.

A. 10: This is an incorrect value; the documented maximum is 50, not 10.
C. 64: This is an incorrect value; the documented maximum is 50, not 64.
D. 256: This is an incorrect value. The maximum number of allowed values is 50, not 256.
