Which action allows you to designate a layer as a Template by using Layer Options?

• A. Open Layer Options by double-clicking the layer and enable Template
• B. Double-click to rename the layer
• C. Right-click and choose 'Layer Settings' to enable Template
• D. Drag the layer to a new Template group

Answer: (A)

Designating a layer as a Template is done through Layer Options. The key idea is that a Template layer acts as a non-printing guide you can build on. You trigger this by opening Layer Options: double-click the layer in the Layers panel, then enable the Template setting. Once turned on, the layer becomes a template—its artwork is dimmed and locked so you don’t accidentally modify or print it, serving as a reusable guide. This is the exact mechanism Illustrator provides for making a layer serve as a template. Other maneuvers like renaming the layer change only its name, not its behavior; using a right‑click path labeled Layer Settings isn’t how you enable Template, and dragging a layer into a Template group isn’t a recognized way to set the Template property. The Template state is a specific option inside Layer Options, so this is the correct method to designate a layer as a Template.
