Answer 1

Answer:

B. A hyperlink can be applied to text or objects, while an action button is a pre-designed shape for navigation

Hyperlinks:

• Versatile Navigation: Hyperlinks offer flexibility in creating links within a PowerPoint presentation, to other presentations, to websites, or even to specific files on your computer.

• Application: They can be applied to any selected text, image, shape, or chart. This means you can turn a word, a logo, or a graphical element into a clickable link.

• Creation: You typically insert a hyperlink by right-clicking the object, selecting 'Link' or 'Hyperlink,' and then specifying the destination.

• Customization: The appearance of the linked text can be customized (e.g., color, underline) to visually indicate it's a link.
