What tool is used to select multiple areas of the same color in a picture?

• A. Lasso Tool
• B. Quick Selection Tool
• C. Magic Wand
• D. Marquee Tool

Answer: (C)

Color-based selection across an image is done with the Magic Wand tool. Click on a color and the tool selects pixels that are similar in hue, saturation, and brightness, controlled by the tolerance setting. To grab multiple separate regions that share that color, turn off Contiguous so the selection isn’t limited to adjacent pixels. This makes it possible to select all areas of the same color anywhere in the image with a single click.

The other tools work differently: the Lasso is freehand, the Quick Selection follows edges as you paint, and the Marquee creates fixed rectangular or elliptical selections. The Magic Wand is the right fit when the goal is to select multiple areas that share a color rather than tracing edges or drawing shapes.
