Which condition must be met for an object to be selected with a marquee selection?

• A. Completely inside the marquee
• B. Completely outside the marquee
• C. Center inside the marquee
• D. Partially inside the marquee

Answer: (A)

Marquee selection works by selecting only objects whose bounding boxes are completely inside the drawn rectangle. In practice, the object must be fully contained within the marquee for it to be selected. If any part of the object extends outside the marquee, it won’t be selected with the standard marquee tool. This behavior helps you precisely choose only the items you truly want, without grabbing anything that just touches or overlaps the border. If you need to select items based on any overlap with the marquee, you’d use a different selection mode designed for that purpose.
