Answer: C

Explanation:

Cherry-pick a pull request

To copy changes made in a pull request to another branch in your repo, follow these steps:

✑ In a completed pull request, select Cherry-pick, or for an active pull request, select

Cherry-pick from the … menu. Cherry-picking a pull request in this way creates a new branch with the copied changes. Merge into a target branch in a second pull request.

✑ In Target branch, enter the branch you want to merge the copied changes.

✑ In Topic branch name, enter a new branch to contain the copied changes, then select Cherry-pick.

✑ Select Create pull request to merge the topic branch into the target branch to complete the cherry-pick.
