Option A makes sense since the alert only closes when the fix gets merged, not just created or approved. The other options don’t change the alert status.

It’s A because the alert only closes once the fix is merged, not just created or approved. Just viewing or ignoring the alert doesn’t close it.

A, because merging actually applies the fix, not just approving.

It’s pretty clear that A is the way to close a Dependabot alert since you need to fix the vulnerability through a PR. The other options don't actually resolve or close the alert.
