What tool is used to select multiple areas of the same color in a picture?

• A. Lasso Tool
• B. Magic Wand
• C. Color Range Tool
• D. Quick Selection Tool

Answer: (B)

This item tests how to select all areas that share the same color in a picture. The magic wand tool is designed for this purpose: a single click selects pixels whose color is similar, controlled by a tolerance setting. By adjusting tolerance, you decide how close a color has to be to qualify, so you can capture multiple regions that match that color even if they’re scattered across the image. If you need to grab several nonadjacent areas, you can add to the selection or turn off Contiguous so noncontiguous areas are included.

Other tools work differently. The lasso is manual and freehand, not color-based, so it’s slower for selecting uniform colors. The quick selection tool uses edge detection while you brush, which is great for following shapes but isn’t inherently about selecting all instances of a color. The color range tool can select a color across the image, but it requires defining a color range and may be less intuitive for quickly isolating all areas that share a single color throughout the picture.
