What is a characteristic of an OR gateway?

An OR gateway is designed to manage and control the flow of a process in a way that allows for flexibility based on the conditions defined for its incoming paths. The characteristic that defines an OR gateway is that it can execute one outgoing flow based on any or all true conditions that apply to its incoming paths.

When the process reaches an OR gateway, it evaluates the conditions associated with each incoming flow. If at least one of those conditions is satisfied, the gateway will proceed along the outgoing path that corresponds to that condition. This means that it does not require all conditions to be true — just one is sufficient — which allows for the possibility of having multiple paths that can be taken based on the defined criteria.

In this context, the other choices do not accurately describe the behavior of an OR gateway. An OR gateway does not wait for all incoming paths or a minimum number of incoming paths to be completed; instead, it activates as soon as one condition is met. Additionally, it does not execute all outgoing flows simultaneously, as that would describe a different type of gateway (typically an AND gateway when all conditions must be met).
