Which panel provides access to the text tool and allows adjusting the typeface?

• A. Tools Panel
• B. History Panel
• C. Character Panel
• D. Layers Panel

Answer: (C)

To control how text looks, you use the Character panel, because it provides the actual typographic controls for text, including the font family (the typeface), style, size, and spacing such as leading and tracking. You start by selecting the Type tool from the Tools panel to create or edit text, and then adjust its appearance in the Character panel. The Tools panel is where you access the text tool itself, but it’s the Character panel that houses the typeface and related typography settings. The History panel is for undoing actions, and the Layers panel manages layer organization—neither of these directly handles typeface adjustments.
