Which option completes the starburst creation method correctly?

• A. Double-click the Polygon Frame Tool, draw a polygon with any number of sides
• B. Click the Polygon Tool and drag
• C. Use the Star Tool in the toolbar and click
• D. Double-click the Polygon Frame Tool, enter Number of Sides, enter a Star Inset percentage above 0%, click OK, drag diagonally and release

Answer: (D)

Creating a starburst in InDesign comes from turning a polygon into a star by using a star inset greater than zero. The correct method is to double-click the Polygon Frame Tool to open its options, set the Number of Sides, enter a Star Inset percentage above 0%, click OK, then drag diagonally and release to size. This sequence applies the inset that creates the pointed starburst and places the frame where you want it. Other approaches don’t produce the same result: simply drawing a polygon with a chosen number of sides won’t become a starburst unless the inset is defined; using the Star Tool yields a standard star, not a starburst formed from a polygon with an inset; and dragging with the polygon tool without adjusting the inset leaves you with a plain polygon.
