The correct option is The pull request is automatically linked to the issue.

When you create a branch directly from an issue in GitHub and then open a pull request from that branch, GitHub creates an automatic link between the pull request and the issue. This ensures traceability and shows the connection on both the pull request and the issue without any manual step.

The pull request description is automatically replaced with the issue description is incorrect. GitHub does not overwrite the pull request description when you open it. You can edit the description yourself and templates may prefill it, yet it is not replaced by the issue text automatically.

The issue is automatically closed is incorrect. Issues close when a pull request is merged with closing keywords or when you close them manually, not when the pull request is created.

A new GitHub Actions workflow file is created automatically is incorrect. Workflow files are only added to the repository by commit and GitHub does not generate them for you when opening a pull request.
