Which tool selects an object by its name from the list of objects currently in the scene?

• A. pick by type
• B. select by name
• C. select by color
• D. select by location

Answer: (B)

Selecting by name uses the object's Name property to identify it. In a scene, every object can be given a unique name, so this tool searches those names and picks the object that matches (or matches a wildcard pattern). It’s the quickest way to target a specific item when you know its exact name, even if many other objects are present or of the same type. This differs from picking by type, which selects all objects of a given kind (like all meshes or all lights) regardless of their individual names; picking by color uses the display color assigned to objects, and picking by location selects based on where objects are in space or where you click, not on their names.
