Wait, there's a job flow diagram? I should have been paying more attention in class instead of doodling in my notebook. Rookie mistake.

The Inner Job can be executed by itself with a valid default value, but not when it's part of the loop job.

User1: The Inner Job can be executed by itself with a valid default value, so option B is false.

Ooh, I like the sound of parallel processing! Option D seems like it could be the right answer. Time to maximize those CPU cycles!

Hold up, I'm pretty sure the control table is mapped to the loop job, not the inner job's parameter. Option C is definitely false.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Shouldn't the inner job be able to run independently as long as the parameter is set correctly? Option A seems more plausible to me.

I think option B is the correct answer. The inner job can't be executed on its own if it's part of a loop job.
