Which function key can be used with Alt to close the current application in Windows applications?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) F4

Explanation:

• Pressing Alt + F4 is the shortcut used to close the current application in Windows.
• This function key combination works in most Windows applications, including web browsers, text editors, and other software.
• It is a widely used shortcut to quickly exit programs without needing to use the mouse to click the close button (X) in the corner of the window.

Information Booster:

• Alt + F4 can also be used to close multiple applications at once by selecting the application windows you wish to close.
• If no applications are open or if you are on the desktop, pressing Alt + F4 will bring up the shutdown dialog, allowing you to shut down or restart the computer.
• This is a more efficient way of closing applications compared to clicking on the close button in the title bar.
