Which tool would you use to initiate a freehand selection by drawing around the region?

• A. Lasso Tool
• B. Marquee Tool
• C. Quick Selection Tool
• D. Gradient Tool

Answer: (A)

To initiate a freehand selection by drawing around the region, you use the Lasso Tool. It lets you click and drag to trace the outline of the area you want, and when you release, the selection closes by reconnecting back to the starting point. This makes it ideal for irregular shapes that don’t fit geometric boundaries. Other options are for different tasks: the Marquee Tool creates rectangular or elliptical selections, the Quick Selection Tool uses painted strokes to grow a selection along detected edges, and the Gradient Tool is for filling with color gradients rather than selecting.
