Final answer:
The Razor Blade tool is the correct choice for separating long clips into smaller ones in video editing. The correct multiple-choice option is (a).
Explanation:
The tool that can be used to separate long clips into smaller ones in video editing is the Razor Blade tool. This is because the Razor Blade tool is specifically designed for cutting and splitting clips into different sections.
It allows you to select a point in the clip where you want to make a cut and then divides the clip into two segments at that location. This is similar to the reference of tape editing with a microscopic razor blade, implying a precise and clean cut.
On the other hand, tools like the Ripple Edit tool, Text tool, and Hand tool have different purposes such as adjusting the duration of a clip, adding text, and navigating the timeline, respectively, and are not used for cutting clips. The correct multiple-choice option is (a).
