It means that given a set, if x and y are any members of the set then x+y is also a member of the set.

For example, positive integers are closed under addition, but they are not closed under subtraction, since 5 and 8 are members of the set of positive integers but 5 - 8 = -3 is not a positive integer.

One possible alternative is the "commutative" property, but that is only of marginal relevance in terms of the given expression. Thus, it is not at all clear what property the question is about and why any such property should be invoked.
