What generally helps identify the type of a file?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: File extension
A file extension is the suffix after the final dot in a file name, such as .odt, .ods, .jpg, or .pdf. It usually indicates the file format and helps the operating system choose a suitable application. Extensions are not absolute proof of content because names can be changed, but they are useful clues. Folder color, table height, and mouse shape do not identify file type.
