A company has a release branch for version 2.0 that is in production. They need to apply a critical security patch to version 2.0, but the main branch has already moved on to version 3.0 with significant changes. They want to ensure the patch is applied to the release branch and also eventually included in the main branch. What is the best approach?

Create a new branch from main, apply the patch, and deploy that branch to production.

Create a hotfix branch from the release branch, apply the patch, merge it into the release branch, and then merge the release branch into main.

Apply the patch directly to the release branch and do not merge it to main.

Apply the patch directly to the main branch and then cherry-pick it to the release branch.
