Cell

The correct answer is option 4- cell.

A cell is identified by a combination of a letter and a number corresponding to a particular location within the spreadsheet.

In a spreadsheet, a value or function or an arithmetic expression is recorded in a cell. The intersection of a row and a column is called a cell. A cell is identified by a combination of a letter and a number corresponding to a particular location within the spreadsheet. For example, the first cell of a worksheet is identified as A1 at row 1 and column (A). When we start Excel, the pointer (cursor) points to the first cell, i.e. A1, and this cell is called the Active Cell. We can move around a worksheet through four arrow keys (i.e. left, right, up, down). For example, the cell having address as G8 correspond to 8th row under G column. Each cell thus has a unique identification called as cell address.
