Colluportus is the correct answer because it is the incantation that seals a door and makes an odd squelching noise. This spell is commonly used in the Wizarding world to magically lock doors and prevent unauthorized access. When Colluportus is cast, the door becomes sealed shut and emits a strange squelching sound, indicating that it is securely closed. The other options, Alohamora, Bombardo, and Bindus, do not have the specific effect of sealing a door or producing a squelching noise.
