The File Exists activity is designed to verify the presence of a specific file within a given path. When executed, it checks the designated file path and returns a boolean value: True if the file is found and False if it is not present. This functionality is particularly useful in automation scenarios where subsequent actions depend on the existence of a file; for instance, it can prevent errors by allowing the workflow to make informed decisions based on whether an expected file is available.

In contrast, the other choices describe functionalities that do not align with the specific purpose of the File Exists activity. The first choice discusses folder verification rather than file verification. The next two options pertain to selecting folders during the execution or design phases of automation, which is not what the File Exists activity is intended for. The focus of the activity is strictly on file existence, making the correct answer the one that addresses this specific capability.
