B probably works best here since Ctrl + C copies the formula itself, not just the value or formatting. Ctrl + D is more for filling down in a column, which is more specific.

I think Ctrl + D (D) fits best if the question targets copying formulas down a column specifically, since Ctrl + C is just a basic copy function.

B/D? Ctrl + C copies anything, including formulas, anywhere, while Ctrl + D is just for filling down. Without more context, Ctrl + C feels like the safer, more general answer.

Maybe D is better because Ctrl + D copies the formula down within the selected column, which is more formula-specific than just a general copy command like Ctrl + C.

Maybe B is the better pick because Ctrl + C is the universal copy shortcut in Excel—it copies formulas, values, formatting, everything. Ctrl + D is more like a quick fill-down command that only works within a column and doesn’t help if you want to copy formulas across rows or to another sheet. So if the question asks for copying a formula generally, Ctrl + C fits best since it’s not limited by direction or location.

Maybe D makes more sense here since Ctrl + D specifically copies the formula downwards in a column, which feels more like a dedicated shortcut for formulas than just copying any content.

Maybe D because Ctrl + D fills down the formula from the cell above, which is more specific than just copying with Ctrl + C. So for copying formulas exactly, D fits better.

Option B makes sense for copying anything, but does Ctrl + C copy formulas specifically or just cell content? Anyone know if D works for formulas only?
