What kind of value does a User-Defined Function (UDF) return? (Select TWO).

User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in Snowflake are categorized by the type of value they return. A UDF can return a single value, such as an integer, string, or variant; this is known as a scalar function. Alternatively, a UDF can return a set of rows, effectively behaving like a table in the FROM clause of a query; this is known as a tabular function, or User-Defined Table Function (UDTF). These are the two fundamental return types for UDFs.

A. Dictionary is a data structure in languages like Python. In Snowflake, this would be represented by the OBJECT data type, making 'Object' the more correct term.
B. List is a data structure in programming languages. The equivalent SQL data type in Snowflake is ARRAY, which is a type of scalar value.
C. An OBJECT is a specific data type that can be returned by a scalar UDF. 'Scalar' is the broader, correct category that encompasses OBJECT, INTEGER, VARCHAR, etc.
