You drew a path with the pen tool and want to move a single point; which tool should you use?

• A. Move Tool
• B. Pen Tool
• C. Direct Selection
• D. Path Selection Tool

Answer: (C)

Direct Selection Tool is used to select and move individual anchor points on a path. After you’ve drawn with the Pen Tool, you can switch to this tool, click the specific anchor point you want to adjust, and drag to a new location. This changes only that point and the adjacent segment, leaving the rest of the path intact. The Path Selection Tool would grab the whole path, moving all points together; the Move Tool is for repositioning entire objects, not single points; and the Pen Tool is for adding or editing points during creation, not for dragging an existing point after the fact. So to move just one point, use the Direct Selection Tool.
