To add a new row to a table you would

To add a new row to an existing table in Microsoft PowerPoint, first select a cell in the table. Then go to Table Tools → Layout and choose Insert Above or Insert Below to add a new row.

This is the correct and recommended method in modern versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, including PowerPoint 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, and Microsoft 365.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Option B: Pressing the Enter key creates a new line within the current cell. It does not insert a new table row.

Option C: The New Slide button inserts a new presentation slide, not a row in a table.

Option D: Ctrl + Enter is used for slide navigation or placeholder movement in PowerPoint and does not insert a table row.

Exam Tip: In Microsoft Office applications, rows and columns in a table are inserted using the Table Tools → Layout tab, not by pressing the Enter key.
