What tool would you use to create shapes and paths through anchor points?

The Pen Tool is specifically designed for creating shapes and paths by manipulating anchor points. It allows users to define precise paths by clicking to create anchor points, with straight segments connecting them. Additionally, it supports Bezier curves, enabling the creation of smooth curves by clicking and dragging, which adds more control over the shape's contours. This tool is essential for drawing complex shapes and is highly favored for its precision and versatility in vector graphics design.

The other options serve different purposes: the Shape Builder Tool is for combining shapes, the Rectangle Tool focuses on creating rectangular shapes, and the Pencil Tool is used for freehand drawing and is less precise for creating structured paths.
