A
Correct answer
Explanation
ESC is the correct keyboard shortcut to cancel an entry in Excel without committing it to the cell. This works both in the cell itself and in the formula bar. SHIFT+HOME and SHIFT+END are for text selection within the entry, and CTRL+3 is not a standard Excel shortcut for this purpose.
