What option applies a gray gradient fill to WordArt?

• A. In the WordArt menu, select Gradient Fill, Gray option
• B. In the WordArt menu, select Gradient Fill, Blue option
• C. In the WordArt menu, select Gray Text
• D. In the WordArt menu, select Solid Fill, Gray

Answer: (A)

Applying a gray gradient fill to WordArt means changing the internal color of the WordArt to a gradient that uses gray tones. To achieve this, you use the Gradient Fill option and choose the Gray preset, which applies a blend of gray shades across the WordArt for depth and dimension. The other options wouldn’t give a gray gradient: a blue gradient would produce blue tones, Gray Text changes the color of the characters themselves rather than the WordArt fill, and Solid Fill, Gray would apply a single gray color with no gradient.
