Where are created patterns stored after Pattern creation?

• A. Swatches panel
• B. Layers panel
• C. Brushes panel
• D. Gradient panel

Answer: (A)

Patterns created in Illustrator are stored as pattern swatches in the Swatches panel. When you make a pattern (for example, via Object > Pattern > Make or using the Pattern Options), the artwork is converted into a pattern swatch that automatically appears in the Swatches panel. You can then apply it to fills or strokes by selecting an object and clicking that pattern swatch. The Swatches panel is designed to hold reusable color, gradient, and pattern assets, which is why created patterns live there. The other panels serve different purposes: the Layers panel manages object organization, the Brushes panel stores brush definitions, and the Gradient panel handles gradient fills.
