What is the menu path to create a solid fill layer using the current foreground color?

1. LAYER>fill>solid color

2. EDIT>fill>solid color

3. WINDOW>fill>solid color

4. FILE>fill>solid color

The correct answer is: LAYER>fill>solid color

To create a solid fill layer using the current foreground color, the correct menu path is through the Layers menu. When you navigate to "Layers" and then select "Fill" followed by "Solid Color", you are accessing a feature that allows you to apply a solid color fill directly to a layer in your document, maintaining the ability to work with layers for non-destructive editing. This method aligns with standard practices in many graphic design applications that utilize layers, ensuring that you can easily manipulate the fill colors and layer arrangements as needed. The other options do not lead to the correct feature for filling a layer. The "Edit" menu typically offers options related to modifying existing content, rather than creating new layers or fills. The "Window" menu generally deals with organizing your workspace and does not provide direct options for filling layers. Lastly, the "File" menu is primarily used for file management tasks, such as opening, saving, or exporting documents, rather than editing the contents of those files. This context highlights why "Layers > Fill > Solid Color" is the appropriate path for this task.
