In a Snowflake SQL query, what is the purpose of the RECURSIVE parameter in the FLATTEN function?

It limits the output to only the first level of nesting, ignoring deeper structures.

It expands nested arrays and objects at all levels of depth, not just the top level.

It repeats the flattening operation until the output contains no NULL values.

It flattens only arrays, leaving objects unexpanded.

What is the primary purpose of the FLATTEN function in Snowflake?

To convert a JSON string to a VARIANT

To transform semi-structured data into a tabular format

To aggregate data from multiple tables
