C Correct answer
Explanation

Teradata uses a shared-nothing architecture where each node (AMP) has its own memory and disk storage, with no shared resources between nodes. This is in contrast to shared-everything (like traditional SMP systems), shared-memory architectures, or shared-data designs. Shared-nothing enables linear scalability and high availability by eliminating resource contention.
