Merging options are located in which group on the Home tab?

• A. Alignment
• B. Font
• C. Editing
• D. Number

Answer: (A)

Merging cells is a layout/formatting operation that changes how cells are arranged on the worksheet. Because it affects the positioning and alignment of content across cells, these commands belong with alignment tools on the Home tab. In the Alignment group you’ll find Merge & Center, Merge Across, Merge Cells, and Unmerge, which are specifically about joining or separating cells and how text is displayed after merging. The other groups—Font handles text style, Number handles numeric formatting, and Editing handles data editing tasks—do not deal with cell layout, so they don’t contain merging options.
