Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Batch systems process transactions in batches, which means there can be a delay between when the transaction is entered and when it is processed. If errors occur during the processing, they may not be identified until the batch is complete and the output is generated. This delay can lead to errors not being detected immediately. Option A is incorrect because batch systems can store transaction trails for an extended period of time. Option C is also incorrect because while errors in some transactions can cause rejection of other transactions in the batch, this does not necessarily mean errors will be detected immediately. Option D is not supported by any evidence in the question.
