Which command deletes the selected row in a table?

• A. Delete Columns
• B. Delete Table
• C. Remove Row
• D. Delete Rows

Answer: (D)

Deleting a row removes the entire horizontal set of cells from the table. In Word, the command that does this is Delete Rows. When you have a row selected and use Delete Rows from the Table Tools Layout tab or the right‑click menu, that row disappears and the surrounding rows move up to fill the gap. The other options delete the wrong thing: Delete Columns would remove a vertical set of cells, not a row; Delete Table would remove the whole table; Remove Row isn’t a standard Word command. If you just want to clear data but keep the row, you’d clear the contents instead, but that’s not deleting the row itself.
