In the context of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), which is often used within tools like SAP Signavio for process modeling, a Parallel Gateway is used to manage the flow of processes that can occur simultaneously or in parallel. Specifically:

• Option B (Assign different tasks at the same time)refers to the capability of a Parallel Gateway to split the process flow into multiple, parallel paths, allowing different tasks to be carried out at the same time. This is a core use case for Parallel Gateways, as they enable the concurrent execution of tasks that do not depend on each other, thus optimizing the process flow and reducing the overall completion time.
• Option D (Ensure that all tasks are completed before proceeding with the next)captures another fundamental use of a Parallel Gateway, but this time at the convergence point. When multiple parallel tasks are initiated by a Parallel Gateway,a converging Parallel Gateway ensures that all those tasks must be completed before the process can proceed. This ensures synchronization of parallel tasks and that no task is left unfinished before the process moves forward.
