Correct answer: C. It asks questions, explains step by step, and checks your understanding
Explanation
The principle — Study Mode optimises for you understanding the material rather than for you receiving an answer.
Why the key is correct — OpenAI describes it as a learning experience that, instead of only giving a final answer, can ask questions, guide your thinking, explain ideas step by step and check your understanding as you go. It is available on all plans globally.
Why the others are wrong — no subject list is imposed, since it works with any topic. It does not swap in textbook-only sources, because the change is method rather than material. And nothing is withheld behind a test.
Remember this — for exam preparation this is the mode that matters, because being handed the answer is what stops you learning it.
