Answer

Allow - Request passes through the WAF and is forwarded to back-end. No further lower priority rules can block this request.
Block - The request is blocked and WAF sends a response to the client without forwarding the request to the back-end.
Log - Request is logged in the WAF logs and WAF continues evaluating lower priority rules
Redirect - WAF redirects the request to the specified URI. The URI specified is a policy level setting. Once configured, all requests that match the Redirect action will be sent to that URI
Anomaly score - This is the default action for Default Rule Set (DRS) 2.0 or later and is not applicable for the Bot Manager ruleset. The total anomaly score is increased incrementally when a rule with this action is matched
