When describing a table created with NAME STRING(100), what data type will be shown for the NAME column?

Explanation:
STRING(n) maps to VARCHAR(n) in Snowflake. So a column defined as NAME STRING(100) is stored as a variable-length string with a maximum of 100 characters. When you describe the table, the data type shown for that column is VARCHAR(100) (often displayed as VARCHAR). The other options imply different kinds of string types or fixed length, but Snowflake uses VARCHAR for this, making VARCHAR the correct match.
