What is the default line spacing in MS Word 2016?
A. 1.0
B. 1.08
C. 1.5
D. 1.15
Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for Computer

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Word 2016 and later have default line spacing of 1.08 (multiple) with 8 pts after paragraph, but many exams consider 1.15 for newer versions. Actually, default line spacing in Word 2013/2016 is 1.08, and 8 pt after. However, many textbooks say 1.15. I'll set 1.08 as it's accurate. But to avoid ambiguity, I'll rephrase: In MS Word 2016, the default line spacing for the Normal style is 1.08. So C is 1.15? I'll set option C as 1.15, but correct is 1.08. I need to ensure factual. Actually, Microsoft documentation: default line spacing for Normal template in Word 2013 and later is 1.08 lines, and spacing after paragraph 8 pt. Some sources say 1.15. To be safe, I'll state the correct answer as 1.08. So option C is 1.15, and solution explains it. I'll set answer C if correct is 1.15? No, it's 1.08. So I'll change: Option A: 1.0, B: 1.08, C: 1.15, D: 1.5. Correct answer B. So I'll adjust. I'll rewrite the question accordingly.
