Which statement is false about the following Snowflake task?

• A. The task will be suspended if the stream doesn't have data
• B. The task will be skipped if the stream doesn't have data
• C. The WHEN expression is evaluated to decide execution
• D. The task will be executed if the stream has data

Answer: (A)

When a Snowflake task uses a WHEN clause that references a stream, Snowflake checks that condition at the scheduled time to decide whether to run. If there’s no new data in the stream, the WHEN expression evaluates to false, and the task is skipped for that run. It does not go into a suspended state simply because the stream is empty; suspension is a separate state that requires manual action or a failure, not a lack of data. So the statement that the task will be suspended if the stream doesn’t have data is not correct.

The other points are correct: the WHEN expression is evaluated to decide execution, and the task will run when the stream has data and the WHEN condition is true.
