Which Excel command merges multiple cells and centers the content across them?

• A. Merge & Center
• B. Center Align
• C. Merge Cells
• D. Wrap Text

Answer: (A)

This question tests how Excel handles combining cell merging with text alignment. The command that completes both actions—merging the selected cells and centering the content across the new, larger cell—is the one you’d use when you want a label or heading to span multiple columns. When you pick the range and use Merge & Center, Excel creates a single cell from the selected area and centers the text across that area, giving a balanced, centered appearance across all the merged cells.

Center Align only moves the text within each existing cell; it doesn't merge cells. Merge Cells merges the cells but leaves the content left-aligned (unless you manually center afterward). Wrap Text keeps the text inside a single cell and wraps to multiple lines as needed.

So, Merge & Center is the option that both merges and centers in one action.
