Which term means 'To place, put on, or spread something'?

• A. To place, put on, or spread something
• B. To measure
• C. To remove
• D. To throw away

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of vocabulary and how a definition maps to a word. The action described—placing, putting on, or spreading something onto a surface—fits the meaning of the word apply. To apply something is to place it on or spread it across a surface, like applying lotion or paint. The other options describe different actions (measuring, removing, discarding) and do not convey putting or spreading. So the term that means this is apply.
