Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is used to:

Explanation

Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is about software bots, not physical machines. These bots handle repetitive, time-consuming digital work such as data entry, invoice or claims processing, appointment scheduling and documentation. IndiaAI Portal places RPA under automation technologies and describes it as a technology that automates repetitive tasks or rule-based operations. It also clarifies the limits of such bots: an RPA bot works on a consistent set of process rules and does not learn, adapt or make decisions on its own. That is why option C is right: RPA is useful when a digital workflow is predictable, rule-bound and repetitive enough to be carried out faster by software.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Website design is a creative and development activity, whereas RPA automates repetitive, rule-based digital processes.
• (B) Cryptocurrency mining is not part of administrative and rule-based workflow automation, which is where RPA applies.
• (D) RPA does not mean building physical robots; it uses software robots or bots for digital tasks.

Concept

This tests the basic Science and Technology distinction between automation software and physical robotics. It recurs in RAS because digital governance and workplace automation questions often hinge on knowing what a technology actually does, not just recognising the acronym.
