If an error occurs and is not handled, which outcome is typical in a Mule flow?

• A. The error is ignored
• B. The error is logged and the flow continues
• C. The flow processing stops
• D. The error is logged and the flow processing stops

Answer: (D)

When a Mule flow encounters an error and there’s no error handling in place, the error is treated as unhandled. The runtime propagates that error and the current flow stops processing. Mule also logs the details of the error so you can diagnose what went wrong. This is why the typical outcome is that the error is logged and the flow processing stops. The other possibilities would require explicit error handling (for example, On Error Continue would let the flow keep going after logging, while an On Error Propagate or a Try scope would change how the error is managed).
