Answer: B

Explanation:

The issue will appear in the Expedite swimlane, because it matches the query priority = Blocker. Swimlanes are used to group issues on the board based on a common attribute, such as assignee, epic, or a custom query. The board’s swimlane configuration shows that the first swimlane is Expedite, which has the query priority = Blocker. This means that any issue with a blocker priority will be placed in this swimlane, regardless of its other attributes. The other swimlanes have different queries that do not match the issue’s attributes, such as type, labels, or reporter. Therefore, the issue will not appear in those swimlanes. The last swimlane is Everything Else, which is the default swimlane for any issue that does not match any of the previous queries. However, since the issue matches the Expedite query, it will not fall into this swimlane either. Hence, the correct answer is B.
