Correct Answer:
C. Left
In most word processing applications, including MS Word, the default alignment of text is Left. This means that text is aligned along the left margin of the document, creating a straight left edge while the right edge remains ragged. This is the most common and readable alignment for body text in many languages.
- Center: Aligns text equidistant from both the left and right margins.
- Right: Aligns text along the right margin, leaving the left edge ragged.
- Justify: Distributes text evenly between both the left and right margins, creating straight edges on both sides by adjusting word spacing.
Understanding default settings helps in efficient document creation.
