Hi @swethascse2 ,

answer is D.  Why?

In Flow Designer, when you click the Test button, the flow always runs as the user who is currently clicking the button (usually the Admin or Developer).

There is a "Run As" configuration for the entire flow (where you can choose to run as the "System User" or the "User who initiates the session"), but that is a design setting. You cannot dynamically select a specific user to "impersonate" purely for the duration of a manual test execution within the Flow Designer testing modal.

If you need to test how a flow behaves for a specific user (like a Manager or a specific Employee), you must actually impersonate that user and trigger the flow naturally (e.g., by submitting a Catalog Item) rather than using the "Test" button inside the Flow Designer interface.

If this helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution.
Thanks!
