docs/data/reusables/discussions/marking-a-comment-as-an-answer.md

You can mark a comment in the discussion as an answer to the discussion if a discussion is within a category that accepts answers. For more information, see "About discussions."

When you mark a question as an answer, {% data variables.product.product_name %} will highlight the comment and replies to the comment to help visitors quickly find the answer.

You can't mark a threaded comment in response to a comment as the answer to a discussion. You also can't mark a minimized comment as the answer to a discussion.
