Which of the following shortcuts will NOT lead to the action of cutting text?

Control V is the shortcut that will not lead to the action of cutting text. In computer terminology, cutting text involves removing selected text from its current location and placing it in the clipboard for potential pasting elsewhere. The shortcut for this action is Control X.

Control C is used for copying text, which means duplicating it to the clipboard without removing it from the original location. Control U typically applies underlining to selected text, a formatting action that does not involve cutting or moving text at all. Thus, while Control X performs the cut operation and Control C handles copying, Control V specifically functions to paste text from the clipboard, differentiating it from the cutting action entirely.
