How does the splitting Inclusive Gateway (OR) work? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AIt triggers one outgoing sequence flow, if a condition applies.
• BIt triggers all outgoing sequence flows, if only one condition applies.
• CIt triggers a few of all possible outgoing sequence flows, if several conditions apply.
• DIt triggers only one of all outgoing sequence flows, if all conditions apply.

• A
  96% (45)
• B
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

A splitting Inclusive Gateway (OR) evaluates every outgoing sequence flow's condition independently and activates all flows whose conditions are true - which may be one, some, or all of them. Option A is correct because when exactly one condition is true, only that single flow fires. Option C is correct because when multiple conditions are true simultaneously, all of those matching flows are triggered in parallel.

Why B is wrong: Triggering all flows when only one condition applies describes a Parallel Gateway (AND), not an Inclusive Gateway - the OR respects which conditions actually evaluate to true.

Why D is wrong: If all conditions apply, the Inclusive Gateway triggers all outgoing flows, not just one; triggering a single flow regardless of other conditions is the behavior of an Exclusive Gateway (XOR).

Memory tip: Think of the Inclusive Gateway as "match and go" - it fires every path that matches a true condition. The "inclusive" part means it includes every winning path, never ignoring them, never adding extras.
