Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The error is logged, and the pattern restarts.
Why it's wrong here
Patterns do not automatically restart on step error.
- ✗
The entire pattern execution stops.
Why it's wrong here
This is what happens when the flag is NOT set.
- ✓
The pattern proceeds to the next step in the sequence.
Why this is correct
The 'Continue on error' flag allows the execution flow to bypass the failure.

The pattern skips to the next section.
Why it's wrong here
