Which operation removes the bone and disrupts the link?

• A. Delete Bone
• B. Refine
• C. Edit Bone Tool
• D. Remove Bone

Answer: (A)

In a character rig, bones form a hierarchical chain that drives how the mesh deforms. Deleting a bone removes that joint from the skeleton and breaks the parent–child relationships, which also clears the mesh’s skin weight to that bone. This combination of removing the bone and severing its influence is exactly what “Delete Bone” does, making it the operation that removes the bone and disrupts the link to the mesh. Refine adds joints, Edit Bone Tool modifies bone properties, and Remove Bone isn’t the standard destructive operation in this context, so they don’t accomplish the same result.
