Which Schedule Type would you choose to run a task at 5-minute intervals?

• A. Repeat on Once
• B. CRON Expressions
• C. Basic
• D. Interval

Answer: (D)

Fixed-interval scheduling is used when you want a task to run repeatedly at a steady cadence. For running something every five minutes, Interval is the natural choice because it is designed to trigger at a constant, repeating time span. You configure a five-minute interval and the task will execute every five minutes, starting from the defined start point, with minimal setup and predictable timing.

The other options don’t fit this simple requirement. Repeat on Once would run the task only a single time, not every five minutes. CRON Expressions can express many complex time patterns, but that extra flexibility isn’t needed for a straightforward five-minute cadence and adds unnecessary complexity. Basic is not typically used for recurring schedules; it doesn’t convey a reliable, repeating interval in the same way Interval does.
