Why each option

This question asks about the keyboard interaction used to navigate through related fields (dot-walking) within the Data Pill Picker.

APlus, Minus

Plus and Minus keys are typically for numerical operations or expanding/collapsing sections, not for dot-walking.

BCtrl <, Ctrl >

Ctrl < and Ctrl > are not standard keys for dot-walking in the Data Pill Picker.

CArrowsCorrect

Arrow keys, specifically the right arrow key, are used in the Data Pill Picker to 'dot-walk' into reference fields, allowing users to traverse to fields in related tables. The left arrow key can be used to navigate back.

DCtrl C, Ctrl V

Ctrl C and Ctrl V are universal keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste, unrelated to dot-walking.

EShift F4, Shift F5

Shift F4 and Shift F5 are function key combinations not associated with dot-walking in the Data Pill Picker.
