The correct option is flowchart

The flowchart or activity diagram is the graphic representation of an algorithm or process. It is used in disciplines such as programming, economics, industrial processes and cognitive psychology.

In Unified Modeling Language (UML), it is an activity diagram that represents step-by-step workflows. An activity diagram shows the general control flow.

In SysML the diagram has been extended to indicate flows between steps that move physical elements (eg, gasoline) or energy (eg, pressure). Additional changes allow the diagram to support better behavior flows and continuous data.

These diagrams use symbols with defined meanings that represent the steps of the algorithm, and represent the flow of execution through arrows that connect the start and end points of the process.
