Correct Answer:
B. Insert a new row
The Tab key serves multiple functions in word processing, particularly when working with tables. Its primary role is to navigate between cells, but its behavior changes significantly when pressed in the very last cell of a table.
- The correct answer is Insert a new row. This is a convenient feature in applications like Microsoft Word. When your cursor is in the final cell of a table and you press the Tab key, the software automatically creates a brand new row at the bottom of the table and places the cursor in the first cell of this newly added row, streamlining data entry.
- Delete the row is incorrect; deleting a row requires a specific command, not the Tab key.
- Move to the next cell is what the Tab key typically does within a row, but once you're in the last cell of the entire table, there is no "next cell" within the existing structure.
- Close the document is an unrelated action, usually performed via the File menu or a specific keyboard shortcut like Alt+F4.
