Explanation

CTRL+9 is the correct keyboard shortcut to hide selected rows in Excel. The shortcut hides the entire row(s) containing the selected cell(s). Option A's CTRL+SHIFT+( is a typo and not a valid Excel shortcut.

AI explanation

In Microsoft Excel, Ctrl+9 hides the selected row(s), and its counterpart Ctrl+0 hides the selected column(s). Ctrl+Shift+9 (not Ctrl+Shift+() actually unhides rows, and Ctrl+Shift+( is used in some locales/older versions as an alternate unhide-rows shortcut — but it is not the hide command. Ctrl+[ is used to select cells referenced by a formula, not for hiding rows. So Ctrl+9 is the correct hide-rows shortcut.
