In cases where the data item has a large number of predefine values and screen space is tight, the following GUI control should be used for an input?

Correct answer: B. drop-down list

  • A. combination box
  • B. drop-down list
  • C. list box
  • D. ellipsis control

Explanation

A drop-down list keeps the many predefined choices hidden until the user opens it, conserving screen space. A permanently visible list box would occupy more space, while a combo box also permits text entry.
