Answer: B

Explanation:

status was not Done will return issues that have never been in ‘Done’ status before.

resolution != null will return resolved issues.

resolution is EMPTY will return unresolved issues.

status != Done will return issues that are not currently in ‘Done’ status, which are issues in ‘To Do’ and ‘In Progress’.

status was in ("To Do", "In Progress") will return issues that have been in ‘To Do’ or ‘In Progress’ status.
