A user has written a playbook that calls three other playbooks, one after the other. The user notices that the second playbook starts executing…

The correct answer is D because synchronous execution has not been configured. Synchronous

execution is a feature that allows you to control the order of execution of playbook blocks. By

default, Phantom executes playbook blocks asynchronously, meaning that it does not wait for one

block to finish before starting the next one. This can cause problems when you have dependencies

between blocks or when you call other playbooks. To enable synchronous execution, you need to use

the sync action in the run playbook block and specify the name of the next block to run after the

called playbook completes. See Splunk SOAR Documentation for more details.

In Splunk SOAR, playbooks can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous

execution ensures that a playbook waits for a called playbook to complete before proceeding to the

next step. If the second playbook starts executing before the first one completes, it indicates that

synchronous execution was not configured for the playbooks. Without synchronous execution,

playbooks will execute independently of each other's completion status, leading to potential

overlaps in execution. This behavior can be controlled by properly configuring the playbook

execution settings to ensure that dependent playbooks complete their tasks in the desired order.
