The correct answer is It is a word processor

• Sometimes called Winword, MS Word, or Word, Microsoft Word is a word processor published by Microsoft. It is one of the office productivity applications included in the Microsoft Office suite. Originally developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie, it was first released in 1983.
• Microsoft Word is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Android, and Apple iOS. It can also run on the Linux operating system using WINE.
• Microsoft Word allows you to create professional-quality documents, reports, letters, and résumés. Unlike a plain text editor, Microsoft Word has features including spell check, grammar check, text and font formatting, HTML support, image support, advanced page layout, and more.

• Below is an overview of a Microsoft Word 2010 document.

The answer is Endnote.

Key Points

• In MS Word, if you want to display the meaning or explanation of a word at the bottom of the last page of the document, the correct feature to use is: Endnote​
• Footnotes provide references to something in a document or give a message. Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page. It can be inserted using the “References” tab at the top of the word page.       

• Other features:-
  • Endnote:- They appear all together at the end of the text, instead of separately on each page.

Mistake PointsThe question includes "Bottom of the last page". To insert a note at bottom of the page, a footnote is required, but if we need to add a note after the text line, then an endnote is used.

NOTE: -

Footnote
In Microsoft Word, you would use the Footnote feature to display the meaning of a word at the bottom of the page. This feature inserts a small superscript number in the text where you placed the cursor, and you can type the definition (or any other note) at the bottom of the page, corresponding to that number.

Just to clarify, while footnotes generally appear at the bottom of the page containing the reference, an endnote appears at the end of a document or section. Neither "bottomnote" nor "footernote" are features in Microsoft Word.

The correct answer is .dcp.

Key Points

The file format ".dcp" is not a valid file format in MS Word 365. The dotx, doc, docx  are valid file formats:

• .dotx: It is a template file format that allows users to create reusable document templates with preset formatting and styles.
• .doc: However, it is the file format used in older versions of MS Word (prior to MS Word 2007) and is known as the "Word 97-2003 Document" format. Although MS Word 365 primarily uses the .docx format, it can still open and work with .doc files.
• .docx: This is the default file format in MS Word 365 for saving documents. It is an XML-based file format introduced with MS Word 2007 and has since become the standard format for MS Word documents. The .docx format supports advanced features, improved compatibility, and better file size optimization compared to the older .doc format.
