Which option describes creating a new graphic style from a shape using the Graphic Styles panel?

• A. Window > Graphic Styles > select the new icon (square w/ plus symbol) and give the style a name.
• B. File > New > Graphic Style
• C. Window > Graphic Styles > New Style
• D. Edit > Preferences > Graphic Styles

Answer: (D)

To create a new graphic style from a shape, you use the Graphic Styles panel. With the shape selected, open Window > Graphic Styles so you can see the panel. Then click the New Graphic Style button (the square with a plus) at the bottom of the panel to save the current appearance as a new style. Give the style a descriptive name in the panel so you can find it later. Graphic styles capture all appearance attributes (fills, strokes, effects), so saving it lets you apply that exact look to other objects later. This approach is the standard way to create reusable appearance presets; other paths like File > New, Edit > Preferences, or a non-panel menu option don’t create a new graphic style from a shape.
