Understanding Blue Prism Flow Representations:

Blue Prism flow diagrams represent the logic and control flow of automated processes.

Each stage must follow the rules of the process flow, and certain configurations are invalid.

Analysis of Options:

Option A: Shows a timeout leading to an Exception stage, followed by an Email Alert. This is valid as it properly handles an exception and sends an alert.

Option B: Shows a timeout leading to a Resume stage, and then directly to an Email Alert. This is invalid because a Resume stage should be followed by logic to recover from the exception, not directly proceed to another action without resolving the issue.

Option C: Shows a timeout leading to a Recover stage. This is valid as it starts the exception handling process.

Option D: Shows a timeout leading to a Resume stage, followed by an Exception stage. This is valid as it properly handles exceptions by resuming and then throwing an exception if needed.

Conclusion:

Option B is the invalid representation because it incorrectly uses a Resume stage without properly handling the exception before proceeding to the next action.
