Using the following Refund case life cycle, how do you design this case to skip...

To design the case so that the Item Return stage is skipped if the item will not be returned, the best approach is:

B. Add a condition to skip the Item Return stage when a return is not necessary. This configuration involves setting a condition at the beginning of the Item Return stage or prior stages, determining whether the return is necessary based on case data (e.g., a property indicating item condition or customer decision). If the condition evaluates to true (no return needed), the process skips the Item Return stage and proceeds to the next appropriate stage.
