Answer:
"Pressing the Alt key" cannot be used to edit the content of a cell.
Therefore, option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
When we edit the content of a cell, Excel shifts into its editing mode. Some features of Excel work are unavailable or behave differently in the Edit mode. When Excel is in its Edit mode, the word Edit appears in the lower left corner of the Excel program window. We cannot apply conditional formatting or change the alignment of the contents of a cell when Edit mode is on. In Edit mode, the arrow keys move the cursor around in the cell instead of moving it from one cell to another.
To edit a cell that contains data, we can use the following function:
- Double-click the cell: This will start Edit mode and position the cursor in the cell that you double-clicked. The formula bar displayed the cell content.
- Click the cell: First click the cell that you want to edit, then click anywhere in the formula bar.
- Pressing F2: Click the cell that contains the content that you want to edit, then press F2.
Therefore, pressing the Alt key will not allow you to edit the data of a cell.
