Which of the following lists contains only Selection Tools?

• A. Move Tool, Crop Tool, Brush, Eraser
• B. Marquee, Lasso, Magic Wand, Quick Select
• C. Brush, Pencil, Smudge, Blur
• D. Gradient Tool, Dodge Tool, Burn Tool, Blur

Answer: (D)

Selection tools define parts of an image to edit without affecting the rest. The list that contains only selection tools includes Marquee for rectangular or elliptical selections, Lasso for freehand selections, Magic Wand for selecting areas of similar color, and Quick Select for quickly selecting an area with edge-detection as you brush. These tools share the purpose of creating and refining selections. The other groups mix tools used for moving and transforming layers (Move), cropping (Crop), or painting and retouching (Brush, Eraser, Pencil, Smudge, Blur, Gradient, Dodge, Burn), so they aren’t limited to selecting parts of an image.
