Question

what are styles?
built-in conditional formatting rules
formatting applied with the format painter
defined combinations of formatting
cells that were created using the autofill feature

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "built - in conditional formatting rules" are specific to conditional formatting, not the general concept of styles.
• "formatting applied with the Format Painter" is about copying formatting, not defining what styles are.
• "defined combinations of formatting" accurately describes styles, as styles are pre - defined sets of formatting (like font, color, alignment etc.) that can be applied.
• "cells that were created using the AutoFill feature" is related to cell creation and filling, not styles.

Answer:

C. defined combinations of formatting
