Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ feature allows you to turn the open windows transparent and makes the desktop screen visible.
A
Aero Flip
B
Jump List
C
Windows Media Center
D
Aero Peek
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is a glass theme in windows, also known as the Windows Aero Theme, that is triggered by a button on the bottom right off the screen, on the right-most edge of the task bar. When the mouse hovers over that button, all the existing windows turn transparent, and the desktop can be seen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aero Peek makes your open windows transparent so you can see your desktop.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hotkey by default is Shift+Ctrl+Z which will make the currently open window transparent. Pressing this hotkey again will revert the window’s transparency to 0, i.e., makes it completely opaque. In the options for See Through Windows, we can choose this hotkey and the transparency level.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Aero Peek button must be clicked once to minimize all windows, and a second click will bring all windows back to full size. Like the Windows + D keyboard shortcut, which quickly launches windows’ visibility to display the Desktop, Aero Peek’s feature does the same thing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aero Peek, also called Show Desktop, is a feature introduced in Windows 7, and available in Windows 8 and Windows 10. It allows the user to view their desktop by placing (and not clicking) their mouse over Aero Peek in the far right-side of the taskbar.
