Explanation
When a data processing failure occurs, the goal is to recover efficiently and learn from the issue - not to redo unnecessary work. Logging error details (B) captures diagnostic information for post-mortem analysis. Resuming from the point of failure (C) is a core resilience pattern (checkpointing) that avoids reprocessing already-completed work. Identifying the root cause (D) is essential to prevent recurrence and implement a proper fix.
Option A is incorrect because restarting the entire flow is wasteful and often counterproductive - it discards completed work, consumes extra resources, and doesn't address the underlying problem. Modern data pipelines use checkpoints precisely to avoid full restarts.
Memory tip: Think "Log, Resume, Diagnose" - the three pillars of graceful failure handling. Any option that throws away completed progress (like a full restart) is a red flag on the exam.
