Correct answer: C. Open the repository folder directly, since Cursor works on files and folders rather than projects.
Explanation
The principle — Cursor inherits the VS Code habit of opening a folder. There is no project object to create, no module list to declare and no SDK to register before work can start, because the directory on disk is the project.
Why the key is correct — Cursor uses a file-and-folder project model instead of JetBrains' project system, and the migration guidance directs you to open a folder. A multi-module repository is opened at its root like any other directory.
Why the others are wrong — No import command registers modules or SDKs. A folder needs no hand-written descriptor and is not read-only without one. And browsing a multi-module tree requires no extra extension.
Remember this — Hunting for a project wizard is the first habit to unlearn: open the folder and start.
