In error handling for a transaction, what does the 'Continue' option do?

• A. It marks the error as resolved and stops processing.
• B. It commits the current transaction (no rollback).
• C. It rolls back the transaction.
• D. It retries the operation.

Answer: (B)

Understanding error handling in a transactional context helps you see what happens to work that already completed when an error occurs. The Continue option treats the error as handled and moves forward without undoing what was already done in the transaction. In practical terms, it commits the current transaction up to the point of the error and proceeds with the remaining steps, rather than rolling back the work that succeeded. This is useful when you want to preserve successful changes even if a later operation fails, though it means the overall transaction may end with a partial commit depending on what happens next. Other options would either undo what was done (rollback), attempt the operation again (retry), or stop processing altogether (propagate the error or halt), whereas Continue specifically commits the current progress and continues.
