Which steps are necessary to create a layer group named Mountains?

1. Select Mountain 1, then right-click to create a group.

2. Select all mountain layers and then choose New Group from Layers.

3. Drag and drop each mountain layer into the same folder.

4. Highlight the mountains and rename them in the layers palette.

The correct answer is: Select all mountain layers and then choose New Group from Layers.

Creating a layer group named Mountains involves organizing multiple layers under a single group to help manage and access them effectively. The selection of all mountain layers followed by choosing "New Group from Layers" is the correct approach because this action directly allows you to bundle those selected layers into one cohesive group with a specific name. It streamlines your workspace, making it easier to handle multiple elements associated with the scenery, landscape, or thematic category you’re working with. In contrast, merely selecting one layer and right-clicking may not lead to the creation of a group unless there are already selected layers to associate with it. Drag-and-drop methods can be useful but may not explicitly create a group; they usually organize layers in a folder structure without naming or defining that structure as a layer group. Finally, highlighting and renaming provides better identification for individual layers but does not group them together, defeating the purpose of organizing multiple layers under a unified group name.
