What is the correct way to adjust the options/settings for a tool in Adobe Illustrator?

The correct method for adjusting the options or settings for a tool in Adobe Illustrator is to double-click the tool. When you double-click on a tool in the Tools panel, a dialog box specific to that tool appears, providing you with various adjustable settings. This action allows for quick and efficient customization of that tool’s properties, ensuring that users can tailor their work environment and functionality to meet their specific project needs.

The other approaches mentioned do not directly lead to tool customization in this context. Right-clicking a tool generally does not provide specific settings and is more associated with contextual menus. Selecting the tool and going to the properties panel may provide some related options, but it does not bring up the dedicated settings for that specific tool. Accessing settings through the main menu typically pertains to broader application settings and functionalities, rather than tool-specific adjustments. Thus, double-clicking the tool is the most efficient and direct method for adjusting tool options in Adobe Illustrator.
