What is the correct path to lock guides in Illustrator?

• A. View > Guides > Lock
• B. View > Guides > Lock Guides
• C. Object > Guides > Lock Guides
• D. Edit > Guides > Lock Guides

Answer: (B)

Locking guides fixes their position on the artboard, so they won’t drift as you move or align objects. In Illustrator, this control lives under the View menu because guides are part of how you view and set up your workspace. The correct path is View > Guides > Lock Guides. This locks the guides themselves; when you’re ready to move them again, use the same path to unlock: View > Guides > Unlock Guides.
