Final answer:
Both the copy and cut commands place the selected text into the clipboard; copying duplicates it without removal, while cutting removes it and stores it temporarily. Hence the correct option would be option a.
Explanation:
The statement that both the copy and cut commands place the selected text into the clipboard is true. When you copy text using the copy command or a keyboard shortcut (usually [Ctrl] + C), the text is duplicated and placed in the clipboard without removing it from the original document. In contrast, when you cut text using the cut command or the keyboard shortcut (usually [Ctrl] + X), the text is removed from the document and placed in the clipboard. Both processes store the selected data temporarily in the clipboard until you paste it using the paste command or the keyboard shortcut (usually [Ctrl] + V).
