If a workflow rule updates a record, order of execution: 1. Updates the record again. 2. Runs system validations again. Custom validation rules, flows, duplicate rules, processes, and escalation rules aren’t run again. 3. Executes before update triggers and after update triggers, regardless of the record operation (insert or update), one more time (and only one more time).

Answer shouldn't be A? Since Validation Rules runs before and Workflow rules runs after

You right, Validation Rules goes BEFORE Workflow rules (with immediate action). 1. So you change the billing city field to San Francisco and click "save". 2. Update transaction begin : 3. No Validation rules get trigger (because the field updated is billing city, not industry). 4. Then the workflow rule kick in and change the Industry field to Technology 5. Update transaction finish. Like you said, Workflow rule comes AFTER validation rule so they can "erase" the work of validation rule ;) Correct answer is C :)

The answer should be A, because once the workflow rules run, the order of execution runs again. So validation rules run again and it will throw an error. After a workflow update, the validations and triggers run a second time.

C is correct. There is no reason why the validations and triggers would run a second time.
