Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

PowerPoint provides separate master views — Slide Master, Title/Layout Masters, Handout Master, and Notes Master — each of which controls the placeholders and formatting for one specific output only: on-screen slides, the title slide layout, printed handouts, or printed notes pages respectively. A change made in one master view does not affect the placeholders of another.

Because a handout's header, footer, date, and page-number placeholders are unique to the handout printout (not the slides themselves), you access View > Handout Master to show, hide, or reposition them. This is the only view that exposes handout-specific header/footer controls.

  • The title master — governs the layout of the title slide only; it has no header/footer placeholders for handout printouts.

  • The slide master — controls formatting inherited by every on-screen slide, but slide masters do not carry the header/footer placeholders that print on handout pages.

  • All of the above — incorrect because the title master and slide master do not carry handout header/footer placeholders at all; grouping every master view together overstates it.
