Which option is used to remove duplicates from a workbook?

The "Remove Duplicates" command is a data cleaning tool located on the Data tab in the Microsoft Excel Ribbon. This feature is used to permanently delete rows that have identical values in one or more specified columns within a selected range or table. It is part of the "Data Tools" group, which also includes other data manipulation features like Text to Columns and Data Validation.

A. Review: The Review tab contains tools for proofing, comments, and workbook/worksheet protection, not for manipulating data content like removing duplicates.

C. File: The File tab opens the Backstage view, which is used for file-level operations such as saving, printing, and sharing, not for editing data within a worksheet.

D. Formulas: The Formulas tab is dedicated to managing functions, named ranges, and formula auditing. It does not contain tools for cleaning or removing data rows.
