Answer: B

Explanation:

The transaction will be retried only one time because the MaxRetryNumber from the “Config.xlsx” file is set to “1”. This parameter determines how many times a transaction item is retried when it fails with an application or a business exception. The Max # of retries from the Queue settings from Orchestrator is set to “2”, but this parameter only applies to the queue items that are marked as “Retry” by the robot. In the Robotic Enterprise Framework, the SetTransactionStatus workflow marks the queue items as “Retry” only if the MaxRetryNumber is not reached. Therefore, the first transaction item will be retried once by the robot and then marked as “Failed” in the queue, regardless of the Orchestrator setting.
