A data architect explains that Snowflake's architecture provides the simplicity of centralized data management while still delivering strong query performance and scale-out capability. Which statement accurately describes how Snowflake's architecture achieves this?

A It uses a pure shared-disk architecture where all nodes read from one central repository with no local storage.
B It is a hybrid of shared-disk and shared-nothing architectures, using a central data repository accessible to all compute nodes while processing queries with MPP clusters where each node stores a portion of the data locally.
C It is a pure shared-nothing architecture where each node owns a permanent, non-shared partition of the data set.
D It requires customers to install and manage MPP clusters on private cloud infrastructure to gain scale-out benefits.
