    In order to exit a document you are working on, the first thing you must do is

    • Switch it off by pushing the button.

    • Unplug the computer.

    • Save the document.

    • Open the special menu, then click on Restart.

    Correct Answer
    A. Save the document.
    Explanation
    To exit a document, the first step is to save the document. This ensures that any changes made to the document are preserved and can be accessed later. Saving the document allows you to close it without losing any progress or information. Switching off the computer or unplugging it would not be the correct steps to exit a document, as these actions do not save the document and can result in data loss. Opening the special menu and clicking on Restart is not necessary to exit a document, as it is a separate action related to restarting the computer.
