When you link data maintained in an excel workbook to a word document A. The word document cannot be edit B. The word document contains a reference to the original source application C. The word document must contain a hyperlink D. The word document contains a copy of the actual data

The correct answer is: B. The word document contains a reference to the original source application.

When you link data maintained in an Excel workbook to a Word document, the Word document will contain a reference to the original Excel workbook. This means that if you make changes to the data in the Excel workbook, the changes will be reflected in the Word document. However, if you delete the Excel workbook, the link will be broken and the data in the Word document will no longer be updated.

Option A is incorrect because the Word document can still be edited, even if it contains a link to an Excel workbook.

Option C is incorrect because the Word document does not need to contain a hyperlink. The link can be embedded in the Word document.

Option D is incorrect because the Word document does not contain a copy of the actual data. The link only provides a reference to the data in the Excel workbook.
