You manage a project by using Azure Boards. You manage the project code by using GitHub. You have three work items that have IDs of 456, 457, and 458. You need to create a pull request that will be li

Explanation

Explanation

Option C is correct because when linking GitHub commits/pull requests to Azure Boards work items (as opposed to GitHub Issues), you must use the #AB prefix before the work item ID - this prefix specifically tells GitHub to reference an Azure Boards item rather than a GitHub Issue. Additionally, using "Fixes" as the keyword automatically transitions the linked work item (456) to a Done state upon merge.

• Option A is wrong because "Done" is not a valid GitHub keyword that triggers a state transition, and it also lacks the required #AB prefix for Azure Boards items.
• Option B is wrong because while "Fixes" is the correct keyword, the IDs use plain #456 format, which would reference GitHub Issues - not Azure Boards work items.
• Option D is wrong because although #AB prefixes are correctly used, there is no action keyword (like "Fixes"), so no state transition to Done would occur for work item 456.

Memory Tip: Think "AB = Azure Boards" - whenever your work items live in Azure Boards (not native GitHub Issues), always add the #AB prefix. Pair it with Fixes to auto-close/complete an item, just like you'd use Fixes #123 for GitHub Issues.
