D. Correct — Accessing external objects after DML operations within the same transaction can cause unexpected behavior due to external system limitations.

Incorrect Options:

B. Allowing end users to change flow structure is not a supported or recommended design pattern.

E. Although saving often is helpful, it is not documented as a core flow design best practice.
