Final Answer:


D) Copy results from Column B, use the PasteSpecial option to paste values into Column B, and delete Column A.**

Step-by-step explanation:

To replace the results without the formula in one column, the most appropriate option is D. This involves copying the results from Column B, using the PasteSpecial option to paste only the values into Column B, and then deleting Column A. This method ensures that only the output values are retained in Column B without the associated formulas.

Copying and pasting the results without the formula is crucial when you want to eliminate dependencies on the original data or calculations. The PasteSpecial option allows you to choose specific attributes to paste, such as values, formats, or formulas. By selecting values, you detach the data in Column B from any formulas present in Column A.

On the other hand, options A and C involve copying and pasting, but they do not address the need to remove the formula dependency. Option B, involving the creation of a new column (Column C), introduces an unnecessary step. Therefore, option D is the most efficient and direct approach to achieving the desired outcome of replacing results without the formula in one column.
