You are developing a Snowflake Native Application that uses Streamlit to provide a user interface for data analysts. The application accesses sensitive customer data residing in a managed database. To enhance security, you want to implement row-level security (RLS) based on the user's role. You have the following Streamlit code snippet:

Which of the following actions should you take to implement RLS in the Snowflake Native App, ensuring only authorized users can view specific rows of 'customer_data'? Assume the already contains necessary credentials. Choose the most secure and efficient method.
Correct Answer: D
Using Snowflake's masking policies and secure views is the most secure and efficient method. It centralizes RLS within Snowflake, leveraging its security features. Option A is vulnerable to SQL injection if 'st.session_state.user.username' is not properly sanitized. Option B is better, but masking policies provide more granular control and data obfuscation. Option C pushes security logic to the application layer, which is less secure. Option E adds unnecessary complexity and overhead.
