Explanation

To receive Dependabot alert notifications via Watch settings, you need either 'All Activity' (D), which sends notifications for every event on the repository including security alerts, or 'Custom' (B), which lets you selectively enable 'Security alerts' as a specific notification category. 'Participating and @mentions' (A) only notifies you of threads you're directly involved in or mentioned in, and does not include Dependabot alerts. 'Ignore' (C) suppresses all notifications for the repository.
