Why each option

Changes and Incidents are related in ServiceNow because a Change can cause Incidents through unintended side effects, and a Change can also be the mechanism for resolving existing Incidents.

AIncident owners are part of the change approval workflow

Incident owners do not participate in the Change approval workflow; change approvals are handled by CAB members and designated approvers defined on the change record.

BIncidents can be caused by a ChangeCorrect

Incidents can be caused by a Change when a change implementation introduces unintended consequences or breaks existing functionality. ServiceNow supports linking incidents to the causative change record for root cause tracking and post-implementation review.

CA Change can resolve IncidentsCorrect

A Change can resolve one or more Incidents by implementing a permanent fix, and ServiceNow allows changes to be associated with the incidents they are intended to close, creating a traceable link between problem resolution and change activity.

DIncidents autoclose upon closure of a related Change

Incidents do not automatically close when a related Change closes; incident resolution requires its own separate closure process and is not triggered by change state changes.
