  1. Files may share the same name or the same extension but not both.

  2. Every file in the same folder must have a unique name.

  3. File extension is another name for file type.

  4. The file extension comes before the dot (.) followed by the file name.

  5. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
