Correct Answer:
B. 1,048,576
Excel 2007 and subsequent versions dramatically expanded the worksheet capacity. The correct number of rows available on a single worksheet is 1,048,576. This vast increase allows users to manage significantly larger datasets compared to previous versions.
- 65,536 was the maximum number of rows in older Excel versions (Excel 2003 and earlier), making it incorrect for Excel 2007+.
- 16,384 is the maximum number of columns in Excel 2007 and later, not rows.
- 99,999 is an arbitrary number and does not represent any standard Excel dimension. Knowing these limits is fundamental for efficient spreadsheet design and data handling.
