Tracking adjusts the spacing of which elements?

• A. Letters Only
• B. Words, Phrases, and Extended Blocks of Text
• C. Lines
• D. Colors

Answer: (B)

Tracking is the uniform adjustment of horizontal space across a block of text. When you apply tracking, you change how densely the characters sit next to each other over the selected span, whether that span is a single word, a phrase, or an entire paragraph. This helps you fit text into a column or create a particular visual rhythm without changing line height or color. It isn’t about line spacing (that’s leading) or color, and it isn’t limited to just a single letter pair (that would be kerning). Because tracking affects spacing across a range of text, it applies to words, phrases, and extended blocks of text.
