The correct answer is: B. I-pointer.

The insertion point is a blinking vertical line that indicates where text will be inserted when you start typing. It is also called the cursor.

The I-pointer is the most common type of insertion point. It is shaped like a

capital letter “I” and is usually black or blue.

The H-pointer is less common than the I-pointer. It is shaped like a capital letter “H” and is usually red.

The H-beam is the least common type of insertion point. It is shaped like a horizontal line and is usually gray.

The I-pointer is the most common type of insertion point

because it is the easiest to see. The H-pointer is used in some programs to indicate that a command is active. The H-beam is used in some programs to indicate that a line of text is selected.
