To reset a cell's formatting to its default state without deleting the data, you would choose which option?

• A. Clear
• B. Reset
• C. Revert
• D. Undo

Answer: (A)

Removing formatting while keeping the data intact is all about returning the cell’s appearance to its default look. When you clear formatting, you strip away font changes, colors, borders, and alignment settings, leaving the raw content exactly as it was but with the default style applied. That’s why the option that clears formatting is the right choice here—it does not touch the data inside the cell, it just removes the formatting rules. The other options don’t fit as well. Undo only reverses the most recent action, so it’s unreliable for a general reset unless the last thing you did was changing the formatting. Reset implies restoring a template or predefined setting, which isn’t a simple per-cell reset in most tools. Revert would take you back to a previously saved version, which is broader than just removing formatting and could discard newer edits. So, clearing the formatting is the direct, safe way to return the cell to its default appearance while keeping the data unchanged.
