Check all three reasons for choosing a 301 redirect over a 302 redirect:

A 301 redirect signals a permanent move, instructing search engines to transfer all ranking signals and "link equity" (the value passed from backlinks) from the old URL to the new one. This ensures that the new page inherits the SEO authority of the old page, preventing a loss of search engine rankings and traffic. A 302 redirect, conversely, indicates a temporary move, meaning search engines may not fully transfer ranking power, potentially leading to a decline in SEO performance for the new URL. The option about redirect chains is incorrect because both 301 and 302 redirects can be part of a redirect chain if not implemented carefully.
