When administering a merge queue for a busy repository, what must typically be true for a pull request to be merged by the queue?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Merge queue is an ordered on-ramp onto the default branch: PRs wait their turn, get tested in the integration state the queue expects, and only merge if required checks and rules still pass. Billing managers and disabling checks have nothing to do with it. If the queue is stuck, look at failing required checks and capacity, not audit log toggles.

Full Explanation
The correct answer is that the PR must pass required checks and satisfy the repository's merge queue and branch requirements. Merge queues reduce broken mainlines by serializing merges and revalidating with up-to-date bases. Option B confuses billing roles with merge rights. Option C is the opposite of queue value. Option D is unrelated and unsafe. Administrators should tune concurrency, required check names carefully (stable check contexts), and communicate queue etiquette to contributors.
