Answer: B

Explanation:

Resource Availability Rules are rules that define when resources are available for service appointments based on their working hours, absences, breaks, travel time, etc.[77]. Using the Resource Availability Rule would allow configuring the Scheduling Policy to ensure a 30-minute lunch break that begins every day after 1 PM by setting up criteria such as break duration equals 30 minutes and break start time after 1 PM[78]. Creating a recurring Service Appointment would not ensure a 30-minute lunch break that begins every day after 1 PM. Recurring Service Appointments are service appointments that repeat at regular intervals such as daily, weekly, or monthly[79]. Using appropriate Resource Operating Hours would not ensure a 30-minute lunch break that begins every day after 1 PM. Resource Operating Hours are records that define when resources are available for work based on their time zones, business hours, holidays, etc.[80]. Creating Resource Absences every day would not ensure a 30-minute lunch break that begins every day after 1 PM. Resource Absences are records that mark resources as unavailable for work for specific time periods due to sickness, vacation, or other reasons[81].
