Why each option

To automatically send an email to the Case Contact when a case is closed, the administrator should use a Workflow Rule. This automation tool can trigger an email alert upon specific record criteria being met.

AValidation Rule

Validation rules enforce data integrity by preventing users from saving records that don't meet specified criteria, but they do not send emails.

BCase Auto-Response Rule

Case Auto-Response Rules are used to send an automatic email acknowledgment to customers when a case is submitted, not when it is closed.

CSharing Rule

Sharing rules are used to extend record access to users based on criteria or ownership, but they do not perform automated actions like sending emails.

DWorkflow RuleCorrect

Workflow Rules are a declarative automation feature in Salesforce that can perform actions, such as sending email alerts, when predefined criteria are met on a record. An administrator can configure a Workflow Rule to trigger an email alert to the Case Contact when the Case Status field changes to 'Closed'.
