Correct answer: Check if these parameters are present in the Google Search Console.
Why this is the answer
The correct action is to check if these parameters are present in Google Search Console. If Google Search Console shows these URLs as indexed, it indicates that Google is treating them as separate pages, which can lead to duplicate content issues and wasted crawl budget. You would then need to address this, perhaps by using canonical tags, robots.txt, or URL parameter handling in GSC. Simply hiding the issue in Semrush doesn't resolve the underlying problem with search engine indexing. While hiding the issue might remove it from your Semrush report, it does not prevent search engines from indexing these duplicate pages, which is the core concern.
