I lean towards B. Active sessions should still redirect.

I feel like this is a trick question. I want to say "No," but I need to double-check my understanding of SAML flows.

My notes say that the redirect is still part of the process, even if the user doesn't see it.

I remember a practice question that mentioned seamless login, but I can't recall if that means no redirect happens at all.

I think the SP does redirect to Okta if the session is active, but I'm not entirely sure.
