A. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs sequentially Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will result in a rollback of all the database operations
B. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs in parallel Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will NOT result in a rollback of any of the database operations
C. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs sequentially Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will NOT result in a rollback of any of the database operations
D. Execution of all routes within the Scatter-Gather occurs in parallel Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will result in a rollback of all the database operations

Question 2

What Mule application can have API policies applied by Anypoint Platform to the endpoint exposed by that Mule application?

A. A Mule application that accepts gRPC requests over HTTP/2
B. A Mule application that accepts JSON requests over TCP but is NOT required to provide a response.
