What is the layer that allows text to be edited independently in image editing software?

• A. Type Layer
• B. Text Layer (Photoshop)
• C. Text File Layer
• D. Paragraph Layer

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that text is stored on its own layer, which keeps it editable independently from the rest of the image. When you add text in image editing software like Photoshop, you’re creating a text layer (often called a type layer in the program). This layer holds the characters and their formatting (font, size, color, alignment) separately from the image’s pixels, so you can edit the wording or styling later without touching other parts of the composition. You maintain this editability until you rasterize or merge the layer with others, which converts it to pixels and makes it non-editable as text. The other terms listed aren’t standard layer types in this context, while a text layer is exactly what enables independent text edits.
