  • 3. 

    Which of the following is a name of a cell?

    • A.

    • B.

      A12C

    • C.

      12C

    Correct Answer
    A. CA12
    Explanation
    CA12 is a name of a cell because it follows the standard naming convention for cells in spreadsheets. In spreadsheets, cells are typically referred to by a combination of letters and numbers, with the letters representing the column and the numbers representing the row. In this case, "CA" represents the column and "12" represents the row, making CA12 a valid cell name. A12C and 12C do not follow this convention and are therefore not valid cell names.
