Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A document zoom percentage controls only the on-screen magnification of a page; it does not alter the document’s stored content or printed size.
A scale of 100% represents the nominal view: values above it enlarge the display, while values below it reduce the display.
Application
Identify the nominal zoom scale as 100%.
Microsoft Word uses this nominal scale as its standard default zoom setting for the exam convention in the question.
Cross-check and contrast
0% would collapse the on-screen scale to zero.
125% is an enlarged view because it is 25% above the nominal scale.
1% is an extremely reduced view because it is 99% below the nominal scale.
Therefore, the default zoom level is 100%.
