A specific touch motion used to issue commands is called what?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends
• D. Not a gesture

Answer: (A)

A touch-based command is described by the term gesture. A gesture is a specific movement or pattern of touch (like tapping, swiping, pinching) that you perform to tell the device to do something. So saying that such a motion is called a gesture is correct, which is why the True option is the best pick.

Examples help: tapping opens an app, swiping might delete or switch screens, and pinching lets you zoom. These are all gestures because they are intentional touch actions used to issue commands.

The other choices don’t fit because they imply the motion isn’t a gesture, or that it’s conditional. In standard touchscreen terminology, that kind of input is indeed a gesture, not something else.
