    Which one of the following is not in the drop-down menu when you click the File tab in Microsoft Word 2010?

    • Save As

    • Open

    • New

    • Backup

    Correct Answer
    A. Backup
    Explanation
    The option "Backup" is not available in the drop-down menu when you click the File tab in Microsoft Word 2010. This is because the "Backup" feature is not a default option in Word 2010. The available options in the drop-down menu typically include "Save As" to save the document with a different name or format, "Open" to open a different document, and "New" to create a new document. However, "Backup" is not a standard option in the File tab drop-down menu.
