C.
It removes the trailing spaces in the last element of the outer array and loads the records into separate table columns
D.

The STRIP_OUTER_ARRAY file format option in Snowflake is used when loading JSON documents that are composed of a large array containing multiple records. When this option is enabled, it removes the outer array structure, which allows each record within the array to be loaded as a separate row in the table. This is particularly useful for efficiently loading JSON data that is structured as an array of records1.
