How do you duplicate a slide in PowerPoint?

• A. Right-click on slide and delete
• B. Insert tab -> New Slide
• C. Copy without pasting
• D. In the thumbnail pane, right-click the slide -> Duplicate Slide

Answer: (D)

Duplicating a slide is done from the slide thumbnail pane. Right-click the slide in the thumbnail list on the left and choose Duplicate Slide. This creates an exact copy of that slide, placed directly after the original, preserving all content, layout, and formatting. A handy quick shortcut is Ctrl+D to duplicate the selected slide. The other actions don’t achieve duplication: deleting removes the slide, inserting a new slide adds a blank slide, and copying without pasting isn’t a valid way to create a copy.
