d he should highlight the data in the range b1:b13 in his spreadsheet. he should then press ctrl+x. finally, he should use the mouse to select cells c5:c18, and press ctrl+p.

Explanation:

Moving data requires cutting (CTRL+X, which removes data from the original location) and pasting (CTRL+V, which places it in the new location). Copying (CTRL+C) duplicates data instead of moving it, and CTRL+P is for printing, not pasting. Thus, option C is correct.

Answer:

C. He should highlight the data in the range B1:B13 in his spreadsheet. He should then press CTRL+X. Finally, he should use the mouse to select cells C5:C18, and press CTRL+V.
