Explanation

This question tests knowledge of the GitHub Actions workflow status badge URL format, which allows you to embed a build status image in a README.md file.

Approach. The correct GitHub Actions badge URL format is: https://github.com/{owner}/{repository}/actions/workflows/{workflow_file}/badge.svg. For this scenario, the URL would be structured as: https://github.com/{OWNER}/{REPO}/actions/workflows/WF1.yml/badge.svg. The key segments are: the base GitHub URL, the repository owner/org name, the repository name, the 'actions/workflows' path segment, the specific workflow filename (e.g., WF1.yml), and finally 'badge.svg' as the endpoint that returns the status image. You can optionally append a branch parameter like '?branch=main' to show status for a specific branch.

Concept tested. GitHub Actions workflow status badge URL construction - specifically knowing the correct path structure (/actions/workflows/{workflow_file}/badge.svg) and how to reference a specific workflow by its YAML filename within a repository's README.md.
