Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cloud flow with approval action
A cloud flow with an approval action (commonly called an approval flow) is designed to incorporate human approval steps in an automated process. Option A (Automated cloud flow) is triggered automatically without any manual intervention, so it does not fit the requirement for human interaction. Option B (Business process flow) provides a guided experience for users to follow a standard process but does not handle approvals. Option C (Desktop flow) automates tasks on the desktop (RPA) and is not intended for approval workflows.
