What happens when you cascade windows?

• A. Windows are arranged in a cascading, overlapping stack
• B. They are minimized to the taskbar
• C. They are moved to another monitor
• D. They are closed

Answer: (A)

Cascading windows is a window management action that arranges all open windows in a single, diagonal stack. Each window is offset slightly from the one before it, so you can see the title bars of multiple applications and quickly switch between them without closing or resizing everything. The windows stay open and overlapping rather than being minimized to the taskbar or moved to another monitor, and they are not closed in this process. This overlapping, stair-step arrangement is what defines a cascade.
