Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Butt cap, round cap and projecting square cap are the standard line cap styles.
Butt cap: The stroke ends exactly at the path endpoint with no extension.
Round cap: A semicircular end that extends beyond the endpoint by half the stroke width, producing a rounded finish.
Projecting square cap: A square end that projects beyond the endpoint by half the stroke width, creating a flat, extended square finish (also often referred to simply as square cap).
Note: 'Sharp cap' is not a standard term for line caps; when seen it is likely a mistaken reference to the projecting square cap. Therefore the correct set of standard caps is the three listed above.
