Explanation

Since the Beta program directly follows Alpha and will be worked on by the same team and developers, the most effective way to address post-closure support concerns is to adjust Alpha's exit criteria so that its ongoing support responsibilities are formally handed off to and included in the Beta program. This creates an explicit, documented continuity mechanism. Option A suggests executing a transition plan (which is valid but less targeted than adjusting exit criteria to include Beta). Option B delays closure indefinitely, which is poor practice. Option D only documents the procedure for releasing resources but does not address ongoing support continuity.
