    Correct Answer
    A. Makes a new layer
    Explanation
    When you copy and paste an image onto your screen or use the text tool in Photoshop, the software automatically creates a new layer. This is because Photoshop uses layers to organize and manipulate different elements of an image. By creating a new layer, it allows you to make edits or adjustments to the copied image or text without affecting the original image or other layers. This gives you more flexibility and control over the editing process.

    A. Images stacked on top of each other
    Explanation
    Layers in Photoshop refer to images or elements that are stacked on top of each other. Each layer can contain different content, such as text, shapes, or images, and can be edited individually without affecting the other layers. This allows for greater flexibility and control when working with complex designs or compositions. By stacking multiple layers, users can create depth, add or remove elements, and make adjustments to specific parts of an image without affecting the rest.
