Hi Nishant,

To avoid this type of error, use criteria to check if the foreign key (aka relationship) field is null before making cross-object references based on that field.

Note: The order of the criteria matters. The check to verify that a lookup is not null must be made before evaluating any conditions which make a cross-object reference across that lookup.

Continuing the example given above, the process criteria should be "[Contact].AccountId Is Null False" AND "[Contact].Account.Name equals Acme" (in that order - the check for AccountId being null has to be before the cross-object reference which relies on the Account field being populated).

When using "Formula evaluates to true" in the Criteria for Executing Actions*, the formula below can be used in this example:
 
AND (NOT(ISBLANK( [Contact].AccountId )), [Contact].Account.Name = "Acme")

If the above suggestion worked, let us know by marking the answer as "Best Answer" right under the comment which will help the rest of the community should they have a similar issue in the future. 

Thanks & Regards

David is right that the "unhandled error" message means that the process is referencing a null value in a lookup field. In this superbadge specifically, when I ran into this issue it was because I didn't have any user set as my manager. Since the approval process notifies the manager of the opportunity owner, the opportunity owner (you) must have a manager. Double check in your user profile whether you have set the "Nushi Davoud" user you created as part of the trailhead instructions as your manager.
