What tool should be used to add the eye of the falcon to an active selection?

1. Quick Select Tool

2. Polygonal Lasso Tool

3. Lasso Tool

4. Magic Wand Tool

The correct answer is: Lasso Tool

The Lasso Tool is designed for freehand selection, allowing users to draw around the area they wish to select. When adding the eye of the falcon to an active selection, the Lasso Tool provides the flexibility needed to accurately trace the contours of the eye, capturing the intricate details that are characteristic of such a specific and small feature. Its capability to create precise selections based on hand-drawn input makes it suitable for situations where fine detail and control are required. Other tools listed have their strengths, but they may not offer the same level of control for freeform selections; for instance, the Quick Select Tool and Magic Wand Tool are generally more effective for areas with distinct colors or patterns rather than detailed, complex shapes like the eye of a falcon, and the Polygonal Lasso Tool is limited to straight edges, which would not be ideal for capturing the organic curves of the eye.
