Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The .xls extension is the traditional file format for Microsoft Excel workbooks, used in Excel 97-2003. While modern Excel uses .xlsx as the default format (introduced in Excel 2007), .xls files are still widely recognized and can be opened in current Excel versions with compatibility mode. Options A (.exe), B (.doc), and C (.xlf) are incorrect - .exe is for executable programs, .doc for Word documents, and .xlf for translation interchange files.

Explanation

Ctrl+I is the universal keyboard shortcut for applying italic formatting to selected text in most applications including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The other options either do nothing or perform different functions - Alt+I has no default action, Ctrl+C is for copying, and Alt+C has no standard formatting purpose.

Ctrl+D opens the Font dialog box in Microsoft Word, giving access to all font formatting options. This shortcut provides quick access to font family, size, style, color, and effects. The other options - Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+F (find), and Ctrl+J (justify) - perform different formatting functions and do not open the Font dialog.
