In BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), subprocesses are used to simplify complex process diagrams by grouping activities. The types of subprocesses in BPMN include:

• Option A (Expanded subprocess):This subprocess is depicted as a rounded rectangle with a plus sign, indicating that it can be expanded to show the details of the subprocess within the main process diagram.
• Option D (Collapsed subprocess):A collapsed subprocess is represented as a rounded rectangle with a plus sign, but unlike the expanded subprocess, it does not show the internal details within the same diagram. Instead, it simplifies the main process diagram by hiding the complexity of the subprocess.

These subprocess types help manage the complexity of BPMN diagrams, making them easier to understand and navigate.

The transformation of extracted data is a critical step in process mining and analysis, primarily to ensure uniformity and accuracy. Uniforming and standardizing the extracted data is necessary to facilitate its analysis across different systems and processes, ensuring consistency in metrics and interpretations. Ensuring the correctness of all extracted data is also crucial to maintain the integrity of the analysis, as any inaccuracies can lead to flawed insights and decisions. Visualizing dependencies between cases and creating a log file with all events, while important, do not directly relate to the reasons why extracted data typically needs to be transformed.References:SAP Signavio Process Intelligence Documentation

A deadlock in a process model can occur when:

• Option C (A parallel merging gateway expects more tokens than existing):In BPMN, a parallel gateway is used to synchronize parallel flows. A deadlock situation can arise if a merging (converging) parallel gateway is waiting for more tokens than are actually produced by the process. This can halt the process flow because the gateway continues to wait for all expected tokens before it allows the process to proceed, effectively creating a deadlock.
