Correct answer: C
Concept: presentation software separates the features that supply appearance from the features that supply content. A design feature hands over a template - fonts, colours, background and layout - and never writes words onto a slide. A content wizard hands over a starting structure together with suggested wording, so the slides it returns already carry text.
Application: Slide Design is a task pane of design templates. Clicking a template restyles the presentation that is already open, and every placeholder keeps the text it held before. The AutoContent Wizard is started from the New Presentation pane. It walks through a short sequence of dialog steps - presentation type such as Training or Recommending a Strategy, then output medium, then title and footer - and finishes by building a new deck whose outline is already filled with suggested headings and bullet text for the chosen type.
Aspect | Slide Design | AutoContent Wizard |
|---|---|---|
What it supplies | A design template: fonts, colours, background art and a layout scheme | A ready-made outline carrying suggested sample text, together with a design |
Where it starts | The Slide Design task pane, acting on the presentation already open | The New Presentation pane, entry "From AutoContent wizard" |
Effect on slides | Restyles the slides already in the file; placeholder text stays as it was | Builds a fresh set of slides whose placeholders already hold text |
User interaction | A template thumbnail is clicked in the task pane and applied at once | Next and Back dialog steps ask for presentation type, output medium, title and footer |
Cross-check - reading each listed statement against that behaviour:
“Both are same”: the two sit in different places and produce different results - one restyles an open presentation, the other creates a new one.
“Auto Content Wizard is just the wizard version of Slide Design”: the wizard writes outline text of its own, which a design template never supplies, so it is more than the same task expressed as dialogs.
“Slide Design asks your choice in steps but Auto Content Wizard does not let you make choices”: this reverses the pair. The Next-and-Back questioning about presentation type, output medium, title and footer belongs to the wizard, while Slide Design applies a template in a single click from its task pane.
“Slide Design does not provide sample content but Auto Content Wizard provides sample content too”: this is the difference that survives - design alone on one side, design plus suggested sample content on the other.
“None of these”: a listed statement does describe the pair, so this one does not apply.
Result: what separates the two is sample content - Slide Design supplies a design and no sample content, whereas the AutoContent Wizard supplies suggested sample content as well as a design. The stepwise questioning that a learner may associate with Slide Design is in fact the wizard's, which is why a statement built on that idea does not hold.
