Answer: D
Correct answer: copy formatting from one object and apply it to another
The Format Painter copies the formatting of a selected object - fill, outline, effects, font, size, colour - and applies it to another, leaving the content untouched. Its behaviour is worth knowing precisely: a single click applies the formatting once and then switches the tool off, while a double-click locks it on so the formatting can be applied to several objects in turn until Escape is pressed. That detail saves a great deal of time and is frequently examined. Its keyboard equivalent is Ctrl + Shift + C to copy formatting and Ctrl + Shift + V to apply it. For consistency across a whole presentation the better tool is the Slide Master, which defines formatting centrally so that changing it updates every slide - whereas the Format Painter copies one instance at a time and creates no lasting link. The Animation Painter, on the Animations tab, does the same job for animation effects.
