All of These
A
Correct answer
Explanation

B
Correct answer
Explanation
In Windows and most GUI systems, Ctrl+V is the standard keyboard shortcut for Paste. After copying or cutting content (with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X), Paste inserts it at the cursor location. This convention is consistent across almost all applications.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
In Windows and most GUI systems, Ctrl+C is the universal keyboard shortcut for Copy. It duplicates selected content to the clipboard, leaving the original in place. This works consistently across text, files, images, and other selectable content in most applications.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Ctrl+Z is the standard shortcut for Undo in Windows and most applications. It reverses the last action, whether it was typing, formatting, deleting, or another operation. Multiple presses can undo multiple actions, depending on the application's undo history.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Ctrl+X is the keyboard shortcut for Cut in Windows environments. Cut removes the selected content from its current location and places it on the clipboard, ready to be pasted elsewhere. Unlike Copy (which leaves the original), Cut removes the source after copying.
