Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 'cutting the selected text/object / सिलेक्टेड टेक्स्ट/ऑब्जेक्ट को कट करने के लिए' is the correct action for CTRL+X. Explanation: CTRL+X performs a cut operation — it removes the selected content from the document and places it on the clipboard so it can be pasted elsewhere. Cut (CTRL+X): removes the selection and stores it on the clipboard.
Copy (CTRL+C): copies the selection to the clipboard without removing it from the document.
Paste (CTRL+V): inserts the clipboard contents at the cursor position.
Why other answer texts are incorrect or less precise: The text stating 'pasting the copied text/object' is incorrect because pasting uses CTRL+V, not CTRL+X.
The text stating 'moving the selected text/object' is imprecise: moving is typically achieved by cutting (CTRL+X) and then pasting (CTRL+V). CTRL+X alone only performs the cut step.
The text stating 'copying the selected text/object' is incorrect because copying uses CTRL+C, which does not remove the original.
