A developer has created a transient workflow, but a specific step defeats the purpose of...

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a transient workflow is designed for short-lived workflows that do not persist their state information in the repository, which means they are faster and do not leave a footprint in the repository. However, if a Process Step in a transient workflow creates a sling job, it defeats the purpose of the transient workflow because sling jobs are persisted in the repository and could generate error messages in the log files if they are not executed immediately or if there are issues with the job queue. Therefore, to maintain the transient nature of the workflow, Process Steps that create sling jobs should be avoided.

The Container Step (Option A) is used to group other workflow steps and does not inherently create sling jobs.

The Goto Step (Option B) is used for branching logic and also does not create sling jobs.
