Which sequence creates a Pattern Brush via the Brushes panel?

• A. Open the Brushes Panel. Select the Options Button. Choose "New Brush". Choose "Pattern Brush" and adjust the settings as appropriate.
• B. Use the Swatches panel to create a pattern brush
• C. Click the New Brush button and select "Pattern Brush" without opening the Brushes Panel
• D. Use the Symbols panel to create a brush

Answer: (A)

Creating a Pattern Brush is done through the Brushes panel by starting the New Brush workflow and choosing Pattern Brush. Open the Brushes panel, then use its panel options to select New Brush and pick Pattern Brush, so you can define the artwork tiles and how they repeat along a stroke. This approach is the correct method because Illustrator places brush creation—the specific pattern brush type—inside the Brushes panel, where you can specify the left, right, center, and end tiles and adjust spacing and colorization. Using the Swatches panel would only create reusable fills or patterns for fills and strokes, not a brush with its own dynamic behavior along a path, and the Symbols panel is for symbol instances, not brush creation. Skipping the Brushes panel means missing the dedicated brush creation workflow, so the sequence in the Brushes panel is the proper way to create a Pattern Brush.
