Explanation

GitHub recognizes a specific set of keywords in PR descriptions and commit messages that automatically link and close issues. The supported keywords include: fix / fixes / fixed, close / closes / closed, and resolve / resolves / resolved. From the choices: (A) fix is a valid linking keyword, (B) resolves is a valid linking keyword, and (E) closed is a valid linking keyword (past tense of 'close'). Option C (merge) is not a GitHub linking keyword - it is a git operation. Option D (join) and F (connects) are not recognized GitHub issue-linking keywords.
