Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: CTRL+V pastes the copied or cut text/object into the document at the cursor location. To copy: use Ctrl+C (this leaves the original in place and places a copy on the clipboard).
To cut (move): use Ctrl+X (this removes the original and places it on the clipboard); then use Ctrl+V to paste it elsewhere.
To paste: use Ctrl+V (this inserts the current clipboard contents at the cursor).
Common mistake: Ctrl+V does not copy or cut—it only inserts clipboard contents. Make sure you have copied (Ctrl+C) or cut (Ctrl+X) something first.
Note: Clipboard contents can often be pasted across different applications (for example, from a browser into a document).
