Choose the correct answer:Which statement describes the execution flow shown in the diagram?

Interpreting the BPMN diagram using OMG semantics:

Thelower linestarts with aMessage Start EventlabeledTransaction Pending.

A Message Start Event means:when this message arrives, a new process instance is created.

The flow then goes toTask “Exchange Funds”, and from there to aThrow Link Intermediate EventlabeledFunds Exchanged.

Theupper linebegins with aCatch Link Intermediate Eventwith the same labelFunds Exchanged.

A pair of Link Events (throw and catch) in the same process segment effectivelyteleports the tokenfrom the throw to the catch, continuing the same process instance.

From the catching Link, the token moves toTask “Approve Transaction”, then to anExclusive Gateway:

If the condition “Ok” is true, the flow goes to an end event labeledTransaction Approvedand the process instance ends.

Otherwise, the flow goes to anEnd Message Eventthat sendsTransaction Deniedand then ends the process.

This matches exactly the description inOption B:

Process created on receipt of theTransaction Pendingmessage,

Exchange Funds → Approve Transaction → branch to either normal end or message end.

Options C and D incorrectly state that no execution occurs (which contradicts BPMN’s valid use of Link Events), and option A reverses the order of the tasks compared to the diagram.
