When you cut and then paste a file, what are you doing

copying it and placing a duplicate in another location

compressing it and placing the compressed version in another location

renaming it, and then saving it with the new file name

removing it from its current location and placing it in another

The correct answer is D. Removing it from its current location and placing it in another

Explanation:

In devices such as computers, there are different options to manipulate files. In the case of moving a file, there are two main options: copy/paste or cut/paste.

In the case of copy and paste, you copy the same file in a different location, which means, in the end, you will have two copies. On the other hand, if you cut and then paste, once you click on "cut" the file is removed and this is copied in a new location by clicking on "paste". This implies when you cut and paste a file you remove the file from the original location and put it in a new location.
