A developer is granted ownership of a table that has a masking policy. The developer's role is not able to see the masked data. Will the developer be able to modify the table to read the masked data?
A.
Yes, because a table owner has full control and can unset masking policies.
B.
Yes, because masking policies only apply to cloned tables.
C.
No, because masking policies must always reference specific access roles.
D.
No, because ownership of a table does not include the ability to change masking policies

Masking policies are applied at the schema level and requirespecific privileges to modify12.
