Explanation
The characteristics of Snowpark Python packages are:
Third-party packages can be registered as a dependency to the Snowpark session using the session.import() method.
The SQL command DESCRIBE FUNCTION will list the imported Python packages of the Python User-Defined Function (UDF).
Querying information_schema.packages will provide a list of supported Python packages and versions.
These characteristics indicate how Snowpark Python packages can be imported, inspected, and verified in Snowflake. The other options are not characteristics of Snowpark Python packages. Option B is incorrect because Python packages can be loaded in both local and remote environments using Snowpark. Option C is incorrect because third-party supported Python packages are not locked down to prevent hitting external endpoints, but rather restricted by network policies and security settings.
