A
Correct answer
Explanation
Teradata uses a shared-nothing architecture where each node (with its AMPs) has its own memory and disk storage, and doesn't share resources with other nodes. This enables linear scalability. Shared memory (SMP) and shared everything are different architectures where resources are shared across processors.
