Which tool is used to create precise rectangular selections that can be moved as a unit?

• A. Gradient Tool
• B. Lasso Tool
• C. Marquee Tool
• D. Paint Bucket Tool

Answer: (C)

The Marquee Tool is designed for creating precise rectangular selections. You click and drag to draw a rectangle, and you can control its exact size or proportions with the options (for example, you can fix the size or ratio or enter exact dimensions). Once you have that rectangle, you can move the entire selected area as a single unit by switching to the Move Tool and dragging; the pixels inside the marquee stay together as you reposition them, keeping the selection intact. The other tools don’t create neat rectangular selections: the Lasso Tool is for freehand shapes, the Gradient Tool and Paint Bucket Tool apply fills or gradients rather than define selections.
