Attempted by 56 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key conclusion: The incorrect statement is "An MDI application displays output in the client area of the frame window."
Why this is incorrect:
An MDI application has three primary window types: a frame window (the main application window), an MDI client window that occupies the frame's client area and manages child windows, and multiple child windows (one per open document).
Document output is displayed inside the child windows that the MDI client window manages, not directly in the frame window itself.
Saying output appears in the frame window's client area is misleading because the frame's client area is occupied by the MDI client window; visible document content appears in the child windows within that client.
Correct phrasing suggestion:
An MDI application displays document output in child windows managed by the MDI client window inside the frame window.
