HOT KEY stands for?

• A. Home Key
• B. Hold Key
• C. Alt and Underline Letter
• D. High Output Key

Answer: (C)

Hot keys are quick commands entered from the keyboard using a mnemonic in the menu—typically you press the Alt key together with the underlined letter shown in a menu item to activate that command. That underline marks which key to press after hitting Alt, making the action fast to access without using the mouse. The best choice describes this Alt plus underlined-letter mechanism. The other options don’t capture how hot keys function: one is just a named key, another isn’t a standard term, and the last is not a real concept.
