Moving data within the same worksheet accurately requires selecting the data, cutting it from its original location, and pasting it into the new location. Let's analyze each of the given options:
A. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + C$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].
- This option uses the copy function ([tex]$Ctrl + C$[/tex]), which duplicates the data and does not move the original data to the new location.
B. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex], press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex], and then select the target cell.
- This sequence is incorrect because it involves pressing [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex] before selecting the target cell. The data will not be moved accurately as intended.
C. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].
- This is the correct sequence. Pressing [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex] cuts the data from the source cell, and pressing [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex] after selecting the target cell pastes the data into the new location, thereby moving it.
D. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + S$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex].
- [tex]$Ctrl + S$[/tex] is used for saving the worksheet and not for copying or cutting data. This sequence will not move the data.
Thus, the correct answer is:
C. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].
