Select when no more specific value is applicable. Activities with this value cannot be referenced directly in flows. (Select Activity for this field on Parse Structured forms.)
Eg.. Flow action, Data transform....etc... We can choose. pyActivityType=Activity
Please go through below article

Activity form - how to create activities for flows
I hope this will help you.

Hi @AbhishekC1725,
A Utility shape, represented by the shape in a Visio flow diagram, references an activity that updates a work object, but does not require user interaction and input. Your system includes standard activities for utility shapes, and you can create additional ones.
Each utility shape references an activity with an Activity Type of Utility.
A utility shape is an activity that can update a work item without human input. It may perform computations, searches, retrieve data from another system, make a decision affecting the course of the flow, and so on.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Ashok
