Which term best matches the description: a gradual transition of colors to create depth?

• A. Exit Animation
• B. Footer
• C. Gradient
• D. Handout

Answer: (C)

A gradient is a gradual transition of colors across a surface, and that smooth shift creates the sense of depth by simulating shading and lighting. In design, you can have linear gradients that change color along a line or radial gradients that spread from a center point outward. Using multiple color stops lets you fine-tune how dark or light areas appear, which helps objects feel more dimensional and realistic. That’s why this term best matches the description. The other terms refer to different things—an exit animation is motion when something leaves the screen, a footer is the bottom section of a page, and a handout is a printed document.
