Which action applies a Three Traffic Lights (Unrimmed) icon set to the selected cells?

• A. Home, Conditional Formatting, Icon Sets, First Set in Shapes.
• B. Home, Conditional Formatting, Icon Sets, Traffic Lights (Unrimmed).
• C. Home, Conditional Formatting, Color Scales, First Set.
• D. Home, Conditional Formatting, Data Bars, First Set.

Answer: (A)

To apply a Three Traffic Lights (Unrimmed) icon set, you use the Conditional Formatting feature. Go to the Home tab, choose Conditional Formatting, then Icon Sets, and select the Three Traffic Lights (Unrimmed) option. This specific path is what applies the icon-based indicators inside each cell, showing red/yellow/green lights based on the cell’s value relative to defined thresholds. The “Unrimmed” variant uses plain circles without borders, which is the distinction from other traffic-light options. Other formatting choices like Color Scales or Data Bars are not icon sets—they apply color gradients or bars within the cells, not the three-icon indicator. And options described as “First Set in Shapes” don’t apply icon sets, since shapes are for drawing objects rather than conditional formatting.
