SharePoint 2016 workflow management service application is missing

Question

First of all, the work management service application is not in the new service creation list (manage service application).

When I try to create a SharePoint 2013 workflow, I am not getting the option to create a SharePoint 2013 workflow in platform type. So I chose SharePoint 2010 and started creating a workflow (for testing purposes I simply created email sending workflow when new item is added).

After creating and publishing, when tested the workflow is not triggering.

Then I tried again to create a simple approval workflow (Out of Box), but it gives me the following error

The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server administrator

I also installed and configured the Workflow manager 1.0. even though I am unsuccessful in resolving it.

In order to Get the SharePoint 2013 workflows Option in Designer, You have to Install and Configure.

• Installation of Workflow Manager 1.0
• Configuration of Workflow Manager
• Install the Workflow Clients on the All server in the farm( if wfm not install on them)
• Register workflow Proxy with SharePoint Server.

To publish the Workflow you have to provision the App management and Subscription Settings service as well otherwise publishing will fail.
