What is indicated by a ruleset stack in Pega?

A ruleset stack in Pega represents a sequence of rulesets that are organized in a specific order. This stack allows the Pega application to search for and apply rules across multiple rulesets based on their defined order of precedence. When a particular rule is invoked, Pega checks the ruleset stack from the top down, which means that it will first look for the rule in the highest priority ruleset and proceed downwards until it finds the appropriate rule to execute.

The flexibility of the ruleset stack enables organizations to manage rule versioning effectively and supports the development of applications that may need different configurations depending on specific use cases or environments. By understanding the ruleset stack, application developers can better structure their applications and ensure efficient rule resolution.

The option regarding a single ruleset implies a limited scope of rules evaluation, while the one about the priority of rule execution is too narrow, as the stack itself does not define priority but rather the order of resolution. Lastly, referencing the total number of rules in an application does not pertain to the concept of a ruleset stack, which focuses on the organization and access path for invoking those rules.
