Correct option is A
During a PowerPoint slideshow, pressing Esc immediately exits the Slide Show mode.
You’re returned to the previous PowerPoint view (typically Normal or Slide Sorter) rather than minimizing the app or jumping to another slide.
This is the standard quick way to stop presenting without advancing further.
If you’re on Presenter View, Esc closes the slideshow and returns to the editing interface.
It does not navigate to the first or last slide; it simply ends the show.

Important Key Points
- Esc = Exit Slideshow: Quickly stops the presentation.
- Return View: Goes back to Normal/last editing view, not to desktop.
- No Slide Jump: Doesn’t move to first/last slide.
- Presenter View: Also closes Presenter View along with the show.
- Alternatives: Ctrl+Break (Windows) can also end some slide operations; click End Show as a UI option.
- Navigation Keys: Use arrow keys/Page Up/Down to move between slides; Esc is for ending.
Knowledge Booster
- Why (b) is wrong: Esc doesn’t minimize PowerPoint; it just exits Slide Show mode.
- Why (c) and (d) are wrong: Esc doesn’t navigate to any specific slide; it terminates the running slideshow.
