Final answer:
To view file properties including the date modified, right-click on the file and select "Properties", which provides details like file size, location, and modification dates.
Step-by-step explanation:
To view file properties, including the date modified, you should right-click on the file and select "Properties". This action is usually performed in a file explorer environment, such as Windows Explorer on a PC. The correct answer to the question is option (a).
Once the Properties window is open, you can find various details about the file, including its size, location, creation date, and the last date it was modified. Options (b), (c), and (d) are not standard methods of accessing file properties and might not yield the desired information about file attributes.
To view file properties, including the date modified, you can right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu. This will open a window with detailed information about the file, including its size, type, location, and the date it was last modified. Another option is to use the "View" tab in the file explorer, where you can choose to display additional details such as the date modified.
Pressing Ctrl + P will open the printing options dialog and is not related to file properties. Similarly, accessing properties through the taskbar menu is not a direct way to view file properties.
