Which Illustrator command selects stray points?

• A. Select > Path > Stray Points
• B. Select > Object > Stray Points
• C. Select > Object > Endpoints
• D. Select > Object > Unused Points

Answer: (B)

Stray points are anchor points on a path that aren’t connected by segments, often leftovers from editing. The quickest way to select them is the Stray Points command under the Select menu, in the Object submenu. When you run it, Illustrator highlights all those stray anchors across your artwork so you can delete them or adjust them to clean up the path. This is especially useful after using the Pen tool or splitting paths, because it helps you tidy up geometry and keep paths behaving predictably. After selecting, you can press Delete to remove them or use other editing commands to reintegrate them. Other options target different things (like endpoints or unused points), but Stray Points specifically pulls out those anchors that don’t belong to a proper path structure, giving you a clean edit.
