Which statement about grouping layers is true?

• A. Grouping layers helps organize content by nesting layers.
• B. Grouping layers permanently merges them.
• C. Grouping layers changes pixel values.
• D. Grouping layers converts them to a smart object.

Answer: (A)

Grouping layers is a way to organize your Photoshop document by nesting multiple layers inside a single group. This keeps each layer editable while you manage them as a unit, which helps you control complex compositions without clutter. You can collapse or expand the group to keep the layers tidy, move the entire group as one, and apply effects, opacity, or blending modes to the group to affect all its layers together. Importantly, this is non-destructive: no pixel data is changed by grouping, so the individual layers remain intact. It’s not about permanently merging content, altering pixel values, or converting layers into a smart object. So the statement that grouping layers helps organize content by nesting layers is the correct one.
