What feature allows the use of arrow keys instead of a mouse?

  1. Control Keys

  2. Mouse Keys

  3. Alternate Keys

  4. Command Keys

The correct answer is: Mouse Keys

Using the arrow keys instead of a mouse can be enabled through a feature called "Mouse Keys". This feature allows the user to control the mouse cursor with the keyboard, making it more convenient for individuals who may have difficulty using a mouse or who prefer using keyboard shortcuts. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not refer to a specific feature related to the use of arrow keys. Control Keys, Alternate Keys, and Command Keys are either features in programming or are used to execute specific keyboard commands, but do not specifically refer to the use of arrow keys for mouse control. Therefore, they are not the best answers for this question.
