Marquee tool is used to create which type of selections?

• A. Freehand selections
• B. Rectangular selections
• C. Color-based selections
• D. Gradient selections

Answer: (B)

Marquee tool creates a defined rectangular area by dragging to draw a rectangle around the part of the image you want to work on. This defines a boundary that you can copy, move, or apply adjustments to without affecting the rest of the image. While some editors also offer an elliptical marquee, the rectangular option is the standard use of this tool, which is why rectangular selections are the correct choice. Freehand selections come from the Lasso tools, color-based selections come from the Magic Wand or Color Range tools, and gradient actions are not about creating a selection shape.
